Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Warm the milk to approximately 110°F (43°C). Add the melted butter and egg to the warm milk, whisking to combine all wet ingredients.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should become soft and pliable.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the peach filling by dicing fresh peaches into small, uniform cubes. Set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
- Spread the diced peaches evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle white chocolate chips over the peaches.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log-shaped roll. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut into 12 even pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll for expansion.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30 minutes in a warm location until they become puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
- Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Optional: drizzle with a simple white chocolate glaze made from melted white chocolate and a touch of cream.
- Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, sweet combination of peaches and white chocolate in these delightful sweet rolls.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your milk is precisely warm (around 110°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Peach Perfection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. Dice them uniformly to ensure even distribution.
- Kneading Technique: Don't rush the kneading process. A full 5-7 minutes develops the gluten, creating a softer, more tender roll.
- Rising Environment: Choose a warm, draft-free spot for dough rising - near a preheating oven or in a slightly warmed oven works perfectly.
- Cutting Hack: Use unflavored dental floss to cut rolls cleanly and evenly without squishing the delicate dough.
- Glaze Option: For extra indulgence, prepare a white chocolate cream glaze to drizzle over warm rolls, enhancing their decadence.
