Instructions

  1. Make the Peach Jam: In a pot, combine the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, mashing occasionally, until juicy and starting to thicken. Mix cornstarch and water, stir into peaches, cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
  2. Make the Tangzhong: Whisk water and bread flour in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for 4-5 minutes until the mixture becomes a paste. Scrape into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  3. Make the Dough: In a stand mixer, combine bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add milk, cream, egg, vanilla, and tangzhong; mix on low with dough hook for 2 minutes until rough dough forms. Add softened butter tablespoon by tablespoon, fully incorporating each addition. Knead another 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Remove dough from bowl, shape into a smooth round ball, place seam-side down in bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and rest 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Filling Mixture: Combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  6. Roll and Assemble: Roll dough on a floured surface into a 15×21 inch rectangle. Spread cinnamon sugar mixture leaving a 1/2-inch border at top. Spread cooled peach jam and then scatter thinly sliced peaches evenly on top.
  7. Cut and Shape Rolls: Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into twelve 1 3/4-inch strips. Roll each strip away from you into spirals, then place in a parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Second Rise: Cover rolls with plastic wrap and let rise 1-2 hours, until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C).
  9. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over risen rolls evenly.
  10. Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes until tops are golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Make Cream Cheese Glaze: Mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Whisk in heavy cream until creamy.
  12. Finish and Serve: Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Measure flour properly using the spoon-level method or a kitchen scale to avoid dense dough.
  • Use very thin slices of peaches in the filling to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
  • If using canned peaches, drain and pat dry well to remove excess liquid.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for 3-5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
