Soft dough swirled with peaches and cinnamon, topped with rich cream cheese glaze.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 4 cups all-purpose flour

→ Peach Pie Filling

08 - 2 cups peaches, diced (fresh or well-drained canned)
09 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
12 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

14 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
15 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
16 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

17 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
18 - 1 cup powdered sugar
19 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
20 - 2-3 tablespoons milk

# Steps:

01 - Combine warm milk and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
02 - Whisk in granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
03 - Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover securely, and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
05 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Simmer until thickened, then set aside to cool.
06 - Once risen, roll dough into a large rectangle approximately 16 by 12 inches.
07 - Spread softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Mix brown sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the buttered dough.
08 - Distribute cooled peach mixture over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
09 - Roll the dough tightly into a log from the long edge. Slice into 12 even pieces.
10 - Arrange slices in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
11 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
12 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
13 - Spread or drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

# Notes:

01 - If using canned peaches, ensure they are thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
02 - Gradually add flour to avoid a dry dough, as humidity and egg size can affect absorption.
03 - Allow the peach filling to cool completely before spreading to avoid melting the dough’s butter layer.
