Peach Sweet Rolls

I'm always looking for new ways to use my favorite fruit and this morning was no exception.  This was worth waking up early on my day off to put together.  







Peach Sweet Rolls

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed and allowed to fully rise (overnight is best)
1 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup peach jam

Peach Icing

3 tbsp butter, softened
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp peach extract or vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Spread out bread dough until a large rectangle.  Mine was 14 x 17 - the same as my cutting board.  Rub softened butter over dough.  Evenly sprinkle the dark brown sugar and cinnamon on top.  Spread out peach jam in three lines - see picture ~



Gently roll up.  Cut into 12 equal pieces.  I cut in half, in half again and then in thirds.  Place in greased 9 x 12 baking pan.  Allow to rise until the dough has doubled or more.  This is a good time to take your butter and cream cheese out to allow to come to room temperature and soften.  When the rolls are ready, bake at 325° for 20 minutes or until a golden brown.  Let cool for 10 minutes before adding icing or it will melt.

For icing, mix together softened cream cheese and butter.  Add in extract and stir completely.  Gradually mix in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time.  Spread icing on top of slightly warm rolls.
