Notes

For the cleanest oozing center, don’t overfill—aim for a thin layer of peach filling so it melts and spreads without leaking out too aggressively. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days and rewarm in a covered skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Freezing isn’t recommended because bread texture softens after thawing; for a lighter option, use a reduced-sugar peach pie filling if available.
