Roll the dough into a rectangle, fold into thirds like a letter, and roll again. Repeat once, then make it a 9x9-inch square and slice into 4 portions.

Slice cream cheese and peach. Combine honey topping ingredients in a little bowl.

Raise the edges of the dough squares. Add cream cheese, peaches, and honey topping. Brush the borders with cream and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over them.

Finish with extra honey mixture on top and enjoy while warm.
