Detailed Steps
Prepare the Dough: Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively. Knead the dough just until smooth to keep it light and fluffy without overworking it.
Make the Peach Filling: Cook the peaches until thickened, and let the mixture cool to prevent the dough from melting. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches, and consider adding extra cornstarch if you like a thicker filling.
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Use softened butter for spreading to ensure an even layer. This prevents the dough from tearing and makes assembly easier.
Assemble Rolls: Roll the dough tightly but gently to maintain shape. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the rolls cleanly, and leave enough space between them for even baking.
Bake: Place the rolls in the center of the oven for even cooking. If they brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil to avoid over-browning.
Make the Glaze: Adjust the cream amount to achieve your preferred glaze thickness. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls while they are still warm to ensure it soaks in nicely.
