CZECH KOLACHE RECIPE
Want to try authentic Czech food? Don't miss "kolache" by any means! Kolache (in Czech kolace) are a round sweet pastry with various fillings. The kolache came to the USA with Czechs who moved to start a new life there at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, kolache have been a great success, and no wonder they taste fantastic!

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm. Pour the dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar into the milk. The sugar will encourage the yeast to activate. Stir everything with a spoon and leave it in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes until foam forms on the surface.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter, which should be semi-liquid but not hot. Around 30 seconds in a microwave are ideal.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt into a mixing bowl. Add an egg, vanilla, melted butter, and activated yeast with milk.
- Begin with the dough. Roughly combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Turn the mixture out onto a floured work surface and use your hands to work it into a smooth elastic dough. If the dough is too sticky, dust it with a tablespoon of flour and continue kneading. Repeat until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Put the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a work surface and divide it into equal parts. If you have a kitchen scale and want kolache the same size, weigh each piece on the scale. The weight of a piece of dough for one pie is around 1 and ½ oz (45 g).
- Shape each piece of dough into a ball. Place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Leave enough space between the balls so that the cakes don't touch and bake into a square later. The classic Czech kolach is round!
- Let the dough balls rise in a warm place for another 40 minutes. Cover the dough with a clean tea towel if you leave the dough to rise on the kitchen counter.
- Time to shape kolache! We need to create a beautiful round kolach and create a depression in the center for the filling placement. Take a round-bottomed vessel about 3 inches in diameter, such a glass. I used a ½ measuring cup. Wrap the bottom with a clean dish towel so that there are no creases. Press the wrapped vessel evenly into the dough with light pressure from above. The kolach is stretched out wide and round, and an indentation is made in the middle for the filling.
- In a shallow bowl, beat an egg using a fork and create an egg wash. Brush it over the edges of the kolache pastries.
- Now, place the filling in the middle of each kolach. Just about 1 to 1.½ tablespoons per kolach are enough. If you like, sprinkle the cakes with streusel topping.
- Let's bake kolache! Preheat the oven to 340 °F (170 °C). Place the sheet with kolache in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

KOLACHE - CZECH PASTRY
These are the pastries that are made by the hundreds for the annual Tabor Czech Days in Tabor, SD every year. Everyone has their own "family" recipe, but this is the standard recipe that most of the ladies use. I learned to make these when I was small from my Czech grandmother. This recipe will make about 8 dozen kolache and they...

Steps:
- 1. Add sugar to water in medium bowl; stir in yeast and set aside to work.
- 2. Heat milk in large bowl in microwave for 5 minutes. Once heated, use a hand mixer and beat in eggs, oil, potato flakes, salt and sugar.
- 3. Put 4 cups of the flour in a large bowl. Add milk/egg mixture and mix well with hand mixer or wooden spoon. Add yeast; mix. Add additional flour, 1 cup at a time (up to 5 cups more) and mix until you can't mix with the mixer or spoon any more. Oil your hands and mix in flour until dough is smooth. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- 4. Oil a large bowl (just smear a little Criso around in bowl) and place dough in bowl - flip dough in bowl to make sure top is also oiled. Put oiled lid on bowl and let raise. What they use is a large Tupperware bowl--either the fix and mix bowl or the large Thats A Bowl. Let dough raise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- 5. Once dough has raised, punch it down and take a medium cookie scoop and make your dough balls. Place some flour in a cookie sheet and portion the balls into the flour.
- 6. Form into balls and place on greased cookie sheets to raise (a dozen to a pan). Let raise about 20 minutes.
- 7. Then take the lid from a can of cooking spray, dip it in flour and make an indentation in each dough ball. Dip the lid in flour before making each indentation so it doesn't stick.
- 8. You want to press firmly so the bottom of the indentation is nearly paper thin. You may need to work the indentation with your fingers a bit.
- 9. Put about a tablespoon or so of filling in each indentation and let raise 15 minutes. It is very important that you let the kolache raise or your kolache will look like Mt. Saint Helens erupting!
- 10. Bake at 425 for 9 minutes. As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, brush the dough part of each kolache with a little oil.
- 11. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks. Enjoy!
- 12. This batch will make about 8 or 9 dozen kolache. These freeze well in Ziplock bags. For the filling, you can use pie filling. What they use is the long tubes of filling found in the baking section of a grocery store. Popular fillings are peach, apricot, prune and cherry. Poppyseed filling is the most requested. Use the Solo brand filling for that.
CZECH KOLACHES RECIPE
Steps:
- In a bowl for the electric mixer, stir together flour, powdered sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the egg yolks, melted butter and milk, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Attach a dough hook to the mixer and knead the dough for 3 minutes.
- Transfer the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover tightly with a plastic wrap. Punch a hole for ventilation and cover with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 1 hr.
- Punch the dough to remove the gas. Form the dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Form each dough piece into a ball shape and place in a half sheet pan lined with a parchment paper, place them apart. You should be able to fit all 12 pieces in a pan.
- Flatten down each dough balls with your fingers, then using a glass bottom or anything that has 2.5-inch diameter on a flat surface, press down to leave an indentation. Cover them with a towel and let it rise second time until double in volume.
- Meanwhile prepare the cheese filling by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
- To make the streusel, mix flour, sugar and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and combine together with your fingers until it forms fine crumbs; set aside.
- For the fruit jam filling, mix jam and water and microwave for 7-10 seconds to loosen; Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- When the dough pieces are risen again, press again with a glass bottom to leave deeper indentation. Be careful not to deflate the dough. Brush with egg wash.
- Fill each piece with 1 tablespoonful of cheese filling, and 2 teaspoonful of jam filling and sprinkle with streusel topping all over. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them rest in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer on to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- First: make the 3 different fillings. If you want all of the kolaches to have the same flavor, triple one of the filling recipes.
- For the prune filling: combine the prunes in a small saucepan with the honey, and add enough water to barely cover the prunes. Boil, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Mash them with a fork as they cook. They're done when most of the water is evaporated and it's thicker than jam. Set aside to cool.
- For the apricot filling: no work necessary! Just have the apricot preserves ready in a small bowl.
- For the cream cheese filling: stir together the room temp cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.

- To make the dough, in a large bowl, combine yeast, warm milk, sugar, and one cup of flour. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size.
- Beat together the eggs, 1/2 cup of melted butter (reserve 1/4 cup for brushing on the pastry), and salt. Add egg mixture to yeast mixture and blend.
- Stir in about 2 more cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time. The dough should be soft and moist. Knead dough for about 10 minutes on floured surface. Don’t worry, it’s a joy to knead as the dough is smooth and highly malleable. Put dough in a greased bowl and let rise covered until doubled in size—about an hour.
- After dough has risen, punch it down and pull off egg-sized pieces. In your hands, roll pieces into balls and then flatten to about 3 inches in diameter. Brush with half the remaining melted butter. Place flattened pieces on a greased cookie sheet, cover and let rise again for another half-hour.
