What’s in Irresistible Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls?
All-Purpose Flour: This is the base of your dough, giving it the structure and fluffiness we crave in a good cinnamon roll. I like using unbleached all-purpose flour for a more natural flavor.
Granulated Sugar: This sweetener is essential not only for the dough but also enhances the flavors in the peach filling.
Active Dry Yeast: This little magic worker helps your rolls rise and gives them that amazing fluffy texture. Make sure to check the expiry date for maximum freshness!
Milk: Rich and creamy, milk adds moisture to the dough. I usually use whole milk for extra flavor, but any type will do the job.
Egg: An egg adds richness to the dough and helps bind everything together. Large eggs work perfectly here.
Butter: Melted and mixed into the dough and filling, butter is the secret to deliciously soft rolls. I recommend using unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness.
Peaches: Fresh, juicy peaches (or you can use canned if it’s off-season) are the star of the show. Their sweetness paired with cinnamon will warm your heart.
Cinnamon: This aromatic spice is essential in creating that comforting flavor profile of a cinnamon roll and pairs exceptionally well with peaches.
Brown Sugar: Using brown sugar adds depth and moisture to the cinnamon filling, making it truly irresistible.
Powdered Sugar: For the glaze, powdered sugar gives that sweet finishing touch. It melts beautifully when mixed with milk or cream cheese.
Is Irresistible Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls Good for You?
While these rolls are definitely a treat, they do bring some delightful aspects to the table!
Peaches: They’re not just delicious; peaches are packed with vitamins A and C, essential for healthy skin and immune function. They’re also high in fiber, which can aid digestion!
However, I won’t sugarcoat it (pun intended)—these rolls are a bit indulgent! The combination of sugar, butter, and carbs isn’t exactly health food, so perhaps save them for special occasions or when you’re feeling that sweet tooth calling!
Ingredients
– 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 packet)
– 1 cup milk, warmed
– 1 large egg
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups peaches, diced (fresh or canned)
– 2 tsp cinnamon
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– Milk (for the glaze)
This recipe will serve about 12 rolls.
How to Make Irresistible Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls?
1. **Activate the yeast:** In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. **Make the dough:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and melted butter. Add the egg and the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
3. **Let it rise:** Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4. **Prepare the filling:** In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with cinnamon. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16×12 inches. Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix and diced peaches evenly on top.
5. **Roll it up:** Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal the roll and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
6. **Second rise:** Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover them again, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7. **Bake:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
8. **Glaze it:** While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk (or cream cheese if you want to go all out!) to make your glaze. Once the rolls are done and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Sweeter Suggestions for the Ultimate Experience
– **Add Nuts:** Toss in some chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
– **Whipped Cream:** Top with homemade whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
– **Storage:** If you have leftovers (unlikely!), keep them covered at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. They are also fabulous warmed up!
