Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
For the Filling
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches (peeled and diced)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
For the Topping
- ½ cup crumbled graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until combined, then gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rises, mix diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, all-purpose flour, and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it into a 16×12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface, creating an even layer ready for filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread the peach filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Starting from the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 even rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let them rise for another 30–40 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat and Prepare Topping: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, combine crumbled graham crackers, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of the risen rolls.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are fully cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- You can use canned peaches if fresh ones aren’t in season—just be sure to drain them well before mixing.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for an extra warm spice note.
- For make-ahead convenience, prepare the rolls up to the second rise, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
