Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl), combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or using the dough hook attachment on medium speed until the dough is smooth, elastic, and only slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Pro Tip: If your kitchen is cold, turn your oven on for 2 minutes, then turn it off. Use the residual warmth to proof the dough.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let the mixture cool completely before using.
Shortcut: Using canned peaches? Drain well and reduce cooking time slightly.
Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Butter
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and spreadable.
Step 4: Roll, Fill & Cut
- Roll out the proofed
- dough on a lightly floured surface into a 16×12-inch rectangle.
- Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar butter across the dough.
- Gently spoon the cooled peach filling over the cinnamon layer, spreading carefully to avoid tearing the dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge to form a log.
- Slice into 12 even rolls using a serrated knife or unflavored dental floss.
Pro Tip: Use dental floss to make clean cuts without squishing your rolls.
Step 5: Second Rise & Bake
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan, leaving a little space between each.
- Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy and touching.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
Step 6: Make the Vanilla Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls.
Optional: Add a dash of cinnamon or almond extract to the glaze for an extra flavor kick.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a true
- cobbler experience.
- Enjoy as a brunch centerpiece or afternoon treat with coffee.
- Make a peach bourbon glaze by adding a splash of bourbon to the icing for an adults-only twist.
