Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional grouping

• Dry Ingredients: All-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon
• Wet Ingredients: Warm milk, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, diced peaches, cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes, or until frothy.
2. Add the remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Evenly spread the peach mixture over the dough.
5. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
9. Once the rolls are done baking, drizzle the frosting over them while they’re still warm.
10. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavor of peach cobbler in cinnamon roll form!
