Equipment

  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 2 wooden spoons
  • 1 pastry blender
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 very large bread board or countertop surface
  • 1 paring knife
  • 1 medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

DUMPLING DOUGH:

  • 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 cup salted butter cold
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream (you can use anywhere between half cup and one-and-a-half cups)

PEACH FILLING:

  • 1/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups peaches peeled and finely diced (I recommend decreasing this amount to 2 cups--see notes below)

TOPPING:

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream

Instructions
 

DUMPLING DOUGH:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Stir until well combined.
  • Cut in butter with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.
  • Add sour cream or Greek yogurt and blend until it is completely worked into the dough.
  • This will take 2-3 minutes of stirring.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface to measure a 10x15” rectangle.
  • (See notes below).

PEACH FILLING:

  • Spread dough with softened butter.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, then cinnamon.
  • Finally, add the diced peaches over top as evenly as possible. (See my notes below).
  • Roll up dough jelly-roll style starting with the long end.
  • Roll tightly but gently so dough doesn’t tear.
  • Cut dough into 12 even slices.
  • Place slices cut-side down in a lightly greased 9x13” glass baking dish.

TOPPING:

  • Combine water, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil; remove from heat.
  • Stir in cream.
  • Carefully pour the hot topping over the dumplings trying to spread as evenly as possible so all of the dumplings get coverage.
  • Bake roly-poly at 350° for 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly.
  • The dish should be mostly set in the middle.
  • Serve warm with ice cream if desired. 

Notes

NOTE: If you have to substitute yogurt for the sour cream, Icelandic yogurt is much thicker than Greek yogurt so it is much closer in texture to sour cream than regular Greek yogurt.
 
NOTE: This is sort of a high maintenance recipe. The dough is hard to roll—especially if you use too much fruit. Use a generously floured surface to roll the dough out on. When rolling the dough into a pinwheel, go very slowly and very gently, using your fingertips and working in any extra dough where you have tears.
 
NOTE: I baked this dish for 40-45 minutes, since it was a little too jiggly at 35 minutes.
 
NOTE: I used about 3 cups peaches, (decreased from 5 cups in the original recipe) but this recipe would be much easier to roll out if the amount of peaches is reduced to about 2 cups.
 
NOTE: I found the original "dough" mixture to be extremely dry and hard to work with. I increased the sour cream to make the dough easier to work with.

Taste of Home no longer has a search engine that allows you to search recipes by title. Most of the time, you have to weed through thousands of recipes in collections. If any link is to be found, I find direct links through google, not their own website. I could not locate a direct page for this recipe. But it is in the cookbook noted above.
