Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large egg

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

For the Vanilla Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
   • In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot.
   • Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
   • Add the egg and mix well.
   • Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup, until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 16×12 inches.
   • Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
   • Sprinkle the diced peaches over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
   • Starting from the longer side, roll the dough up tightly into a log.
   • Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
   • Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Bake the Rolls:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan.
5. Prepare the Vanilla Glaze:
   • Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk in a small bowl to reach a drizzling consistency.
   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Serving: Serve the Peach Cinnamon Rolls warm, allowing the vanilla glaze to melt slightly into the rolls for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
