Ingredients
**For the Peach Jam**
– 1 1/2 cups fresh ripe peaches, cubed
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon water
– 1/2 cup very thinly sliced peaches, for the filling
**For the Tangzhong**
– 3/4 cup water
– 1/4 cup bread flour
**For the Dough**
– 3 2/3 cups bread flour
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons instant yeast
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
– 1/3 cup heavy cream
– 1 large egg, room temperature
– Tangzhong, from recipe above
– 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
**For the Brown Sugar Filling**
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
– 2/3 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
**For the Crumb Topping**
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
**For the Cream Cheese Vanilla Glaze**
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
– 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. **Make the Peach Jam**: In a pot, combine the cubed peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, mashing occasionally, until the peaches are juicy and starting to thicken. Mix the cornstarch and water together, then stir it into the peach mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then transfer the jam to a bowl and let it cool completely.
2. **Make the Tangzhong**: In a small pot, whisk together the water and bread flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for 4-5 minutes until it becomes a paste-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3. **Make the Dough**: In a stand mixer bowl, combine the bread flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and sea salt. Add the milk, heavy cream, egg, vanilla, and the prepared tangzhong. Knead on low speed with a dough hook for 2 minutes until a rough dough forms.
4. With the mixer running on low, gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, allowing it to fully incorporate before adding more. Continue kneading for another 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Remove the dough from the bowl and shape it into a smooth ball. Place it seam-side down back into the mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
6. **Assembly**: Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
7. Roll the rested dough on a lightly floured surface into a 15×21-inch rectangle, with the longest side facing you. Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top. Spread the peach jam on top, then layer the thinly sliced peaches.
8. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into twelve 1 3/4-inch strips. Roll each strip away from you and carefully transfer them to the lined baking pan.
9. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until the rolls double in size.
10. While the rolls are rising, prepare the crumb topping by mixing the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl until crumbly.
11. Once the rolls have risen, sprinkle the crumb topping over them. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let the pan cool on a wire rack.
12. **Make the Cream Cheese Glaze**: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream. Spoon the glaze over the warm rolls and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions and Variations for Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls
These Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them even further by serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fruity twist, try adding other fruits like berries to the filling. You can also experiment with spices—adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom can enhance the flavor profile. If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the powdered sugar to taste. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can also be reheated in the microwave for a quick treat.
