Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (approximately 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
For the filling
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peaches, diced Fresh or canned peaches can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the icing
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar For icing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let this sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
  2. Next, add in the melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 5–7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Filling and Rolling
  1. While the dough is rising, mix the softened cream cheese with diced peaches and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface.
  3. Evenly spread the peach and cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
  4. Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice it into approximately 12 even rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
  5. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for another 20–30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  2. While the rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar with a tiny splash of milk until a smooth icing forms. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.
  3. Enjoy!

Notes

For a healthier option, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or use low-fat cream cheese. For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
