Peaches and Cream Sweet Rolls
Makes 10
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (105° to 110°)
- ⅔ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 (0.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
- 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups finely chopped fresh peaches (about 2 medium)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
- ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 3 cups flour and 1½ teaspoons salt. With mixer at low speed, add yeast mixture and melted butter, beating just until combined. Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Lightly punch down dough. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 14x10-inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining ⅔ cup granulated sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Leaving a ½-inch border along one side, sprinkle sugar mixture onto dough and spread evenly. Top with chopped peaches. Starting at long side of dough without border, roll dough into a log, pinching seam to seal. Cut log into 10 (1½-inch-thick) slices.
- Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Place slices cut side up in prepared skillet. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°) until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 to 45 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese and milk until smooth. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Use immediately to top rolls.
