1. In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter over low heat until just heated (about 110°F/43°C). Remove from heat and stir in yeast and granulated sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly and activated.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and eggs. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
3. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough rises, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to make the filling. Set aside.
6. Once the dough has risen, roll it into a 16×12-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
7. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with 1 cup diced peaches.
8. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls.
9. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
10. In a bowl, combine 1 cup diced peaches, brown sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla to make the topping. Pour evenly over the rolls.
11. Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes.
12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
14. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the icing.
15. Drizzle the icing over warm rolls and serve.

Serving Ideas

• Serve warm with extra peach slices or whipped cream.

• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-style treat.

• Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for crunch.

• Serve with coffee or peach tea for a perfect morning combo.

Tips & Variations

• Fresh or frozen peaches can be used. If frozen, thaw and drain before using.

• Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling for extra warmth.

• Make ahead by preparing the rolls the night before and letting them rise in the fridge overnight. Bake fresh in the morning.

• Use cream cheese icing instead of vanilla glaze for a tangy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes. You can prep the rolls, place them in the baking dish, and cover tightly. Let them rise in the fridge overnight, then bring them to room temperature and bake the next morning.

What kind of peaches work best?
Fresh, ripe peaches are ideal for flavor and texture. However, canned (drained well) or frozen (thawed and patted dry) peaches can also be used.

Why is my dough not rising?
Check that your yeast is fresh and that the milk wasn’t too hot—it should be warm, not boiling. Also, be sure the dough is placed in a warm, draft-free environment.

Can I freeze the baked rolls?
Yes. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Do I have to use heavy cream in the topping?
Heavy cream creates a rich cobbler-like sauce, but you can substitute with whole milk or half-and-half in a pinch—though the sauce will be slightly thinner.
