Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), letting the warmth fill your kitchen.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the diced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the peaches are well-coated in the sweet mixture.
- On a floured surface, roll out the cinnamon roll dough into a rectangular shape, giving it just enough love to stretch without tearing.
- Evenly spread the peach mixture over the rolled-out dough, making sure to cover every nook and cranny with those delightful peach pieces.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Each roll will keep all that sweet peach goodness contained!
- Cut the log into 12 equal rolls. Place them snugly in a greased baking dish, allowing them a bit of space to rise.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and filling your home with an irresistible aroma.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the yogurt drizzle by mixing the peach yogurt and milk in a small bowl. Whisk until you achieve your desired consistency—smooth and drizzly!
- Once the rolls are beautifully baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the yogurt mixture lovingly over the top, letting it cascade down the warm rolls.
Notes or Tips
- Feel free to substitute fresh peaches with canned peaches if fresh ones are not available—just be sure to drain them well.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top for a delightful crunch.
- For an extra special touch, enjoy these rolls warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Cooking Techniques
Rolling dough can be tricky, but remember to flour your surface well to prevent sticking. When rolling, keep the dough tight to ensure the filling doesn’t ooze out. For the best results, bake until the tops are golden brown—this gives the rolls that lovely, slightly crisp outside while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
