Posted on 18. Jun, 2009 by admin in Kolache

“A traditional Czech pastry, it can be filled with a variety of fillings.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 2 1/2 cups warm milk
* 1 1/2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 2 eggs
* 2 egg yolks
* 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup fruit preserves

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour warm milk over yeast, and let dissolve. Then add sugar, shortening, salt, eggs, egg yolks, and flour. Stir until well combined. Remove dough to a well oiled bowl, and turn once to coat the surface. Cover, and place in a warm spot. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
2. Dish out dough with a tablespoon, and roll into balls. Brush each with shortening, and let rise until doubled in bulk.
3. Flatten the balls, and make a depression in the centers. Fill with fruit preserves. Allow to rise.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
