Peach Preserve Cinnamon Rolls
This delightful variation on the classic cinnamon roll features a sweet, fruity twist—rich peach preserves swirled into the center for a burst of flavor. The tender, fluffy dough pairs perfectly with the spiced filling, and a smooth cinnamon glaze ties everything together, making this a perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Warm milk | 1 ⅓ cups |
| Butter (room temperature) | 2 tablespoons |
| Granulated sugar | ¼ cup |
| Red Star Platinum yeast | 1 packet |
| Egg | 1 |
| All-purpose flour | 4 cups |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
For the Filling:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Peach preserves | 1 cup |
| Ground cinnamon | ½ teaspoon |
For the Glaze:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Milk | 3 tablespoons |
| Powdered sugar | ¾ cup |
| Ground cinnamon | ½ teaspoon |
Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the warm milk, softened butter, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Add the egg to the foamy yeast mixture and stir well. Slowly mix in 2 cups of flour, stirring until smooth. Add the salt, then gradually incorporate the remaining 2 cups of flour, about ½ cup at a time, until a soft dough forms and starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
Step 3: Knead and Let Rise
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes, or until the texture becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm area for 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in volume.
Step 4: Prepare Filling and Roll Out Dough
While the dough is rising, combine the peach preserves and cinnamon in a small bowl. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a rectangle about 12×15 inches in size. Evenly spread the peach-cinnamon mixture over the dough.
Step 5: Shape and Second Rise
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it, then cut the roll into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices in greased pie pans or baking dishes. Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 6: Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and fully baked through.
Step 7: Add Glaze and Serve
While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together the milk, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve either warm or at room temperature.
