I love baked goods, and there are so many good ones to try. Start with this raspberry brie, these cream puffs, and this apple danish! They are some of my favorites and are SOO GOOD!
What is a Kolache?
Before you start baking, it’s always good to know exactly what the recipe is before you begin! A kolache (pronounced koo-lah-shee) is a Czech pastry made from sweet yeast dough. The dough is puffy and holds a sweet cream cheese filling that’s plain or topped with jam. Kolaches are not hard to make. In fact, most of the time that you spend will be waiting for them to rise and bake! The actual prep time is short and sweet. This dessert is so good and can be served after just about any meal. I usually love a classic pie or brie after a large family meal, but these kolaches have now taken their rightful spot at the top of that list! Kolaches are always a hit at any party, so try them out and bring them to the next one to impress all of your guests. It will knock their socks off!
Ingredients to Make Kolaches
The ingredients that you use to make these kolaches are actually pretty simple! In fact, you probably already have them in your kitchen. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Whole milk: The milk needs to be warm (but no warmer than 110 degrees) to activate the yeast. Granulated sugar: This is used to sweeten up the dough. Rapid rise yeast: Even though I use rapid rise yeast, I still like to activate it. Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe. Eggs: In this recipe you will use a whole eggs and egg yolks. Flour: All purpose flour works great for this recipe! Salt: The salt will enhance all of the other ingredients. Cream cheese: This is for the filling and will mix better if you soften it at room temperature before making thes kolaches. Vanilla extract: This enhances all of the sweet ingredients in the filling. Jam: This is is what you can use for the fruit filling. Pick any flavors that you like!
