Ginger-Peach Blossoms
Yield: Makes 12 rolls
Ingredients:
1
can (16 ounces) sliced peaches in light syrup, divided

1/4
cup juice reserved from peaches

3
tablespoons milk

1
egg

3
tablespoons butter, softened

1
teaspoon salt

2-3/4
cups all-purpose flour

1/4
cup granulated sugar

1/4
cup packed brown sugar

1-1/2
teaspoons ground ginger

1
teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8
teaspoon ground cloves

1/8
teaspoon ground nutmeg

2
teaspoons active dry yeast

2
tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

1/8
teaspoon ground ginger

1/8
teaspoon ground cinnamon

1
egg, lightly beaten



Preparation:
1.
Drain peaches, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Coarsely chop peaches. Measuring carefully, place all dough ingredients and 1/2 cup chopped peaches in bread machine pan in order specified by owner's manual. Program dough cycle setting; press start. (Do not use delay cycle.) For topping, combine remaining peaches, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, ginger and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets; set aside.

2.
When cycle is complete, punch down dough and remove to lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in additional all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into smooth ball. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover with clean towel; let rise in warm, draft-free place 45 to 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

3.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Make indentation in center of each roll. Spoon heaping teaspoon peach mixture into each indentation. Using kitchen shears, make 5 deep vertical cuts around perimeter of each roll to form flower petals. Brush beaten egg over petals; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

4.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets; cool slightly on wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
