Ingredients
  

Peach Jam
  • 4 cups Fresh Ripe Peaches Use very ripe peaches for the best results.

Dough
  • 4 cups Bread Flour Can swap with all-purpose flour but reduce liquid slightly.
  • 2 tablespoons Instant Yeast Active dry yeast can also be used but requires proofing.
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Enhances flavor and strengthens gluten in the dough.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can substitute with non-dairy milk for a lighter option.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Provide richness and moisture for soft dough.
  • 1 Large Egg For a vegan alternative, use a flax egg.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
Filling

  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon Can swap for nutmeg if desired.
Crumb Topping

Method
 

Make the Peach Jam
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine diced fresh peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Mash peaches gently until bubbly and thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a bit of water, then stir into the bubbling mixture to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Prepare the Tangzhong
  1. In a small pot, whisk together equal parts water and bread flour over medium heat until it thickens to a paste-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool.
Mix the Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, instant yeast, and fine sea salt.
  2. Pour in the whole milk, heavy cream, large egg, and cooled tangzhong. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Gradually incorporate unsalted butter, allowing the dough to become cohesive.
Rest the Dough
  1. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
Assemble Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Roll dough into a rectangle (12x18 inches). Spread cinnamon sugar mixture, followed by peach jam and sliced peaches. Roll tightly and slice into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place rolls in a lined baking pan.
Final Rise
  1. Cover rolls and let them rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours. Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C).
Make Crumb Topping
  1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
Bake
  1. After the final rise, sprinkle crumb topping over the rolls. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare Icing
  1. In a bowl, blend cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth.
Drizzle and Serve
  1. Allow rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle icing over warm rolls.
