Around our house, we like these sweet buns so much, we can hardly wait until they cool to sample them. Besides cranberries, I've filled them with cooked pitted prunes, apricots, pie filling and even jam or jelly.

Cranberry Kolaches Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 18 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • FILLING:
  • 1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup grated peeled tart apple
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • GLAZE (optional):
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or orange extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface; roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make a 1-1/2-in.-wide well in the center of each roll. Combine filling ingredients; spoon into each well. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  • If glaze is desired, combine confectioners' sugar, extract and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency. Drizzle over rolls. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
