Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Peach Jam
Start by creating a simple homemade peach jam. Combine cubed peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat. Cook for 12–15 minutes, mashing occasionally until the mixture thickens and becomes juicy. Stir in a cornstarch-water mixture to help it set, and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer the jam to a bowl and let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Tangzhong
Tangzhong is a paste made from flour and water that helps create super soft dough. Whisk water and bread flour in a small pot over medium heat until it forms a paste-like texture. Scrape it into a bowl and set aside.
3. Make the Dough
In a stand mixer bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Add milk, cream, egg, vanilla extract, and tangzhong. Knead with a dough hook on low speed for 2 minutes until a rough dough ball forms. Gradually add softened butter one tablespoon at a time while continuing to knead. After 8–10 minutes, the dough should be smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. Assemble the Rolls
Roll out the rested dough into a large rectangle (15×21 inches) on a lightly floured surface. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border at the top edge. Layer the peach jam on top of the filling, followed by thinly sliced peaches. Cut the dough into 12 strips using a pizza cutter, roll each strip tightly, and place them in a parchment-lined 9×13 baking dish.
5. Let Them Rise
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for 1–2 hours until they double in size. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) while they rise.
6. Make the Crumb Topping
Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl until crumbs form. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the risen rolls.
7. Bake
Bake the rolls for 30–40 minutes until golden brown on top. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.
8. Finish with Cream Cheese Glaze
Whisk together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth. Spoon or drizzle the glaze over warm rolls for that final touch of decadence.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Peaches: If you’re in peak peach season, fresh peaches are unbeatable! For canned peaches, make sure to drain them well and pat them dry to avoid excess liquid.
- Roll Carefully: Thinly slice your peaches for easier rolling—thicker slices can make it tricky to form neat rolls.
- Measure Flour Properly: Always use the spoon-and-level method or a kitchen scale to avoid adding too much flour.
- Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat them briefly in the oven or microwave before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls shine as part of a weekend brunch spread alongside fresh coffee or tea. Pair them with scrambled eggs and bacon for a sweet-and-savory balance or enjoy them solo as an indulgent dessert after dinner.
