How do I prepare peaches for peach cobbler cinnamon rolls?

Use fresh, canned, or frozen peaches for the filling. If using fresh, peel and thinly slice or chop about 3 cups of peaches. For canned peaches, drain thoroughly and pat dry to remove excess liquid, then chop if needed. Frozen peaches should be completely thawed and drained before use to prevent a soggy filling. Thin slices or small chunks work best to evenly distribute peach flavor without adding too much moisture.

Can I bake peach cobbler cinnamon rolls in disposable pans without changing the bake time?

Yes, you can bake them in disposable aluminum pans, and the standard bake time remains the same. Just ensure the rolls are evenly spaced to allow proper rising and browning. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking as ovens vary. Use a toothpick test to check doneness—baked rolls should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

What’s the best way to store leftover peach cobbler cinnamon rolls?

Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for 4-5 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the rolls in a sealed freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving to restore their soft texture.

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast for the dough?

Yes, active dry yeast works as a substitute but requires a longer rise time. Activate it first by dissolving in warm water with a pinch of sugar for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. Then incorporate it into the dough as usual. This change affects the timing but not the final texture or taste of the dough.

Should I use the pre-packaged icing with cinnamon rolls for peach cobbler cinnamon rolls?

It’s recommended to use the included icing. After baking, allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 5-10 minutes so excess peach juice is absorbed. Then drizzle or spread the icing on top. For easier drizzling, warm the icing slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This adds sweetness and a creamy finish that complements the peach filling.

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare Peach JamIn a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of cubed fresh peaches, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir in cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water to thicken further; cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely for best spreadability.

2-Second Step: Make Tangzhong (Water Roux)Whisk 3/4 cup water with 1/4 cup bread flour in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. This tangzhong will later add softness and moisture to your dough.

3-Third Step: Prepare DoughIn a large mixing bowl, combine 3 2/3 cups bread flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon fine sea salt. Add 1/3 cup whole milk, 1/3 cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste, and the cooled tangzhong. Knead briefly until a rough dough forms. Gradually add 6 tablespoons softened butter and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and cover; let rest for 30 minutes.

4-Fourth Step: Roll and Fill DoughOn a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 15 x 21-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup softened butter evenly over the surface, leaving a small border. Sprinkle generously with 2/3 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon blend. Spread the cooled peach jam evenly over the cinnamon mixture, then arrange very thin slices of peaches on top for texture and flavor.

5-Fifth Step: Form RollsCut the dough into twelve 1 3/4-inch strips. Roll each strip tightly into spirals and place seam side down into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 2 hours.

6-Sixth Step: Prepare and Add Crumb ToppingMix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use. Once rolls have risen, generously sprinkle crumb topping over them.

7-Final Step: Bake and GlazePreheat oven to 325°F (162°C). Bake rolls for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, prepare cream cheese vanilla glaze by mixing 4 tablespoons softened butter, 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 2 ½ tablespoons heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

🔪 Use the spoon-level method or a kitchen scale for measuring flour to prevent dense dough.
🍑 For canned or frozen peaches, ensure they are well-drained and patted dry.
🧊 Use thin peach slices to prevent tearing the dough when rolling.
