Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping fresh ripe peaches, then combine them in a saucepan with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and release their juices. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Pour this into the peach mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened. Allow the peach jam to cool completely.
- In a small pot, whisk together 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of bread flour. Place the pot over medium heat and continuously stir until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set the tangzhong aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of bread flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt. Pour in 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the cooled tangzhong. Mix until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter to the dough, kneading for another 5 minutes until fully incorporated. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a mixture of 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon evenly over the surface. Spoon your cooled peach jam across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from the long edge, gently roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place each roll, cut side up, in a parchment-lined baking pan, leaving some space between each one. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise again in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). While the rolls are rising, prepare the crumb topping by mixing together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of cold, diced butter in a bowl. Sprinkle the topping generously over the risen rolls. Bake the Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls for 30-40 minutes, until they are golden and the tops are firm to the touch.
- While the rolls are baking, beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a mixing bowl until smooth. Once the rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle this glaze generously over them.

Notes
For optimal flavor, measure flour accurately, cool peach jam completely, and let rolls rise properly for a tender texture.
