This kolache recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, who received it from her mother! It was a standard treat in their family, made nearly every week. Now I make these kolaches for my own family for special occasions. —Maxine Hron, Quincy, Illinois
Ingredients
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
1/2 cup sugar, divided
-
2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
-
5-3/4 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
4 large egg yolks, room temperature
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup butter, softened
-
2 cups canned prune, poppy seed, cherry or lemon pie filling
-
1 large egg white, beaten
Directions
-
1.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm milk; let stand 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, remaining sugar, egg yolks, salt, butter and yeast/milk mixture. Mix until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough.
-
2.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Add additional flour if necessary. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch dough down and allow to rise again. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a large glass or a 2-1/2-in. cutter. Place on greased baking sheets; let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
-
4.
Firmly press an indentation into center and fill each roll with a heaping tablespoon of filling. Brush dough with egg white. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until rolls are light golden brown.
