This is it. Today we bake together. This thread right here is home base. Post your progress in the comments as you go, your mixing, your rolling, your cutting, the pretty ones and the ugly ones, all of it. Ask your questions here too. I’ll be in and out of this thread all day, coaching, cheering, and answering. You are not baking alone today. Here’s the recipe, yeasted and sourdough, whichever road you’re on: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/brown-butter-peach-cobbler-cinnamon-rolls THE FLOW FOR TODAY Get your pieces ready. Cold dough. Cooled peach jam with no free liquid. Your cinnamon smear. Streusel out of the fridge and into the freezer 30 minutes before you need it. And a few raw peach pieces set aside for the garnish. Roll it out. Long side facing you, into a rectangle. Leave the bottom inch bare so you can seal the seam. Fill it. Dollop the smear and spread it gentle with your hand, not a tool. Then the peach jam, thin and even. Remember, drain the water, respect the water. Roll and cut. Snug, even log. Pinch the seam and set it seam side down. Trim the ends, then cut 12 rolls with unflavored dental floss. Pan and proof. Big rolls on the outside edges and corners, small ones in the middle. Proof until puffy and just touching. Streusel and bake. Cold streusel on top. If you’re running the heavy cream trick, pour the cream first, then the streusel. Bake at 350F until the middle of the dough reads 190 to 195F, and temp the dough, not a peach pocket. Foil tent if the tops race ahead. Finish. Cool a bit, drizzle the frosting instead of smearing it, and crown it with that raw peach, red side pointing up. Sourdough crowd, if your dough is still finishing its proof, take your time and jump in whenever you’re ready. No rush. We’ll be right here. Now let’s make a mess and make it beautiful. Post those first photos. Show me where you’re starting. I’m in the kitchen with you.

It turned out nicely, flaky crust, dry, bottom, and glazed it with the leftover buttercream from the cinnamon rolls. The recipe is up on the recipe pantry: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/peach-strawberry-galette

Well, here we are. Bake day. And it landed on the Fourth of July, so let’s make something beautiful today. 🇺🇸 Most of you have your dough or your butter blocks resting in the fridge right now, which means the hard part is behind you. Today’s the payoff. We shape, we proof, we bake. Here’s the game plan: 🥐 Pull your dough, roll it out long, cut your triangles, and shape ⏳ Proof until puffy and jiggly. This is the make-or-break step, so don’t rush it. French folks, you’re looking at a couple hours. Sourdough, yours runs longer, 3 to 5, so be patient with it. 🔥 Egg wash, then bake to a deep mahogany. Pale is underbaked. Let that color build. Now, two things about the heat. 🎇 First, the real one. This heat wave across the country is dangerous, not just uncomfortable. Drink your water, stay cool, and check on the older folks and neighbors around you. Your bread can wait. You come first. Take care of yourselves out there. 🇺🇸 Second, that same heat is sitting in your kitchen. Your final proof has to stay under 78F or the butter melts and weeps out before the croissants ever hit the oven. Find the coolest room in the house. If your kitchen’s running warm, the fridge is still your friend, use it to hold the proof steady. Keep a close eye today, because in this heat they can over-proof faster than you’d think. This thread is home base all day. 🎆 Post your progress right here. Your shaped croissants, your proof, your first tray out of the oven, your crumb shots when you cut in. And if you hit a snag, butter leaking, dough fighting you, proof looking off, drop it in the comments and I’ll walk you through it. I’m around all day. Let’s bake, everybody. 🇺🇸🥐 Perfection is not required. Progress is. Henry ⭐🔥🇺🇸

We picked the one bake that hates heat the most, on the hottest holiday weekend of the year, and we did it anyway. Two working threads, 1,800-plus comments, first-timers pulling their first croissants at nightfall, and a whole room holding each other up through a heat dome. Ann Snow's dough fought her from 6:12am to dark and she still got them out of the oven. That's the whole story.

Well, we survived Croissant Week. 🥐👏 All that lamination, all those butter layers, all that patience. You all showed up and did the hard thing, and I couldn’t be prouder of the folds that came through this kitchen. Now it’s time to let summer all the way in. ☀️🍑 This week we’re baking Brown Butter Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls, and this one’s personal. I’m a South Carolina boy. Down here in the Deep South, peach cobbler isn’t just dessert. It’s a staple and a delicacy both at once. It’s the thing that shows up at the church supper, the Sunday table, and the family reunion, and everybody’s grandmother swears hers is the best. That cobbler is in my bones. 🧡 So I did what I always end up doing. I took something I grew up loving and turned it into something we all already know by heart, the cinnamon roll. Peach cobbler on the inside. Pillowy roll on the outside. Brown butter running through the whole thing. And a streusel top that’ll have your house smelling like a Carolina summer. 🔥🍑 And I’ll be honest, this one came out of my daughter Payton. She’s always challenging me, always poking at me to take it one step further. Don’t play it safe, Dad. So here we are. Cobbler in a cinnamon roll. That’s a Payton bake if I ever made one. ⭐ No fresh peaches where you are yet? Don’t worry. Frozen and canned work great, and I’ll walk you through every swap this week so nobody gets left out. Here’s the recipe so you can look it over before Saturday: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/brown-butter-peach-cobbler-cinnamon-rolls The sourdough version: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/sourdough-brown-butter-peach-cobbler-cinnamon-rolls?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=recipe-share We bake together Saturday morning. 🇺🇸🍑
