- Remove from heat and let cool.
Dough Preparation
- Whisk together ¾ cup of water and ½ cup of all-purpose flour in a small saucepan over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until it forms a thick paste (tangzhong).
- Transfer to a bowl to cool while preparing the dough.
- In a stand mixer, combine 3½ cups of flour, ¼ cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of yeast, and ¾ teaspoon of salt.
- Add ½ cup milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and cooled tangzhong; mix until shaggy dough forms.
- Incorporate 4 tablespoons of butter and knead the dough for 10–11 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rising the Dough
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Filling Preparation
- Mix together ½ cup of melted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until crumbly; chill in refrigerator.
Assembling the Rolls

- Spread the filling over the dough, then layer with the peach jam and thin peach slices.
- Slice into strips, roll each strip into swirls, and arrange in a greased baking dish.
- Let the rolls rise again until doubled, about 1 hour.
