Ingredients

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

Directions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until smooth, then gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, combine peaches, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly.
Roll Out and Assemble
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 16×12 inches.
- Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the peach mixture evenly on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, pinch the seam to seal, and cut into 12 rolls.
Second Rise and Bake
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
