Old Fashioned Kolache Recipe

My great grandmother brought the basic recipe with her from the former czechoslovakia now the slovak republic in the early 1900s.

Old fashioned kolache recipe. To make ham and cheese kolaches you ll need thinly sliced deli ham and some good old fashioned sliced american cheese. In a small bowl dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm milk. 1 3 cup 70 g granulated sugar.

Next make the kolaches. Stir together the room temp cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough.

Sprinkle you fresh out of the oven kolaches with powdered sugar before serving. Place on parchment paper lined or greased baking sheets about 1 inch apart cover with a towel or plastic wrap spritzed with cooking spray and let rise at room temperature until nearly doubled in bulk about 1 hour. Brush tops with beaten egg mixed with a little milk and sugar.

For the apricot filling. For victor in chandler az this recipe was in the may 15 2006 newsletter. Let the filled kolaches rise about 20 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 15 20 minutes or until lightly browned. 2 hours 50 minutes. Then wrap a dough ball around the ham until it is fully enclosed and pinch to seal any seams.

In large bowl combine 2 cups flour remaining sugar egg yolks salt butter and yeast milk mixture. Preheat the oven to 375 f 350 f for a convection oven. Just have the apricot preserves ready in a small bowl.
