Knead on floured surface until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about three minutes. Place in greased bowl turning dough to grease top.

Add filling by brushing with reserved 2 tablesoppns peach syrup; then sprinkle dry gelatin over lengthwise half of dough. Randomly spoon peaches over gelatin. Fold plain half over peach half; seal edges. Cut into twelve 1 1/2 inch strips. Twist each strip 2 times. Place in prepared pan, forming two rows of six twists each; press both ends of each strip firmly to bottom of pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees farenheit for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare topping; pour warm topping over warm twists. Serve warm or cool.
