Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
1. Make the dough
In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead and rise
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size 😊
3. Prepare the filling
In a bowl, mix diced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The mixture should be juicy and fragrant.
4. Roll out the dough
Roll the dough into a rectangle (about 10×14 inches). Spread softened butter over the surface, then evenly distribute the peach filling.
5. Roll and slice
Roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 9–12 rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
6. Second rise
Place rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 20–30 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through 😍
8. Make the glaze
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
9. Finish and serve
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately for that gooey, bakery-style experience 🍑
