CZECH KOLACHES WITH FILLED POPPY SEED, CREAMY PEACH, OR PRUNE



Czech Kolaches With Filled Poppy Seed, Creamy Peach, or Prune image

Airy breads with sweet or savory fillings, kolaches are the Czech's best know contribution to Texas cooking. Many Texas Towns stage Czech Heritage celebrations. Two of the best occasions to get your fill of kolaches, sausage, strudel, and dancing are the West Fest on Labor Day weekend in West and, in the spring, the National Polka Festival in Ennis, which features four halls of rousing polka bands.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 45m

Yield 3 doz

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 tablespoons dry yeast (2 packages)
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, preferably Crisco
1/4 cup sugar, plus
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
2 egg yolks
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
melted butter, for topping
2 cups small curd cottage cheese, drained in a sieve
1/2 cup peach butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 lb dried prune
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups poppy seeds
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • FOR THE PASTRY: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the lukewarm water. Set the bowl aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks, milk, and salt, combining well. Stir in the dissolved yeast and the flour, and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended into a soft dough. Cover the dough with a towel, and set the dough aside to rise to about double in size, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • While the dough rises, choose and prepare one of the three fillings.
  • Grease a baking sheet. Pinch off pieces of dough about one and a half times the size of a golf ball, flatten the balls slightly, and transfer them to the baking sheet. Place the balls at least 1 inch apart, and brush them liberally with the melted butter. Set them aside to double in size again, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • With your thumb, gently indent the top of the dough. Make the holes especially deep if you plan to use the poppyseed or creamy peach filling. Spoon in a couple of teaspoons of filling, and, with the poppyseed or creamy peach versions, coax the dough over the filling. Let the kolaches rest again for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F Bake the kolaches for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the pan from the oven immediately brush the kolaches with more butter, and sprinkle them with the remaining sugar. Transfer them to a rack, and let them cool.
  • The kolaches should be tender somewhat like a light butter Danish. They're best eaten the day they're made. Makes 3 dozen.
  • FOR THE CREAMY PEACH FILLING: Drain the cottage cheese in a sieve or cheesecloth for 30 to 45 minutes. Squeeze any accumulated liquid from the cheese. Mix the cheese with the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  • FOR THE PRUNE FILLING: Put the prunes into a saucepan, and cover them with water. Add the vanilla, and simmer until the prunes have softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and pit the prunes, and chop them in a food processor with the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Or chop the prunes by hand, and then add the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • FOR THE POPPYSEED FILLING: To make the poppyseed filling, stir together the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set the bowl aside.
  • Grind the poppyseeds in a blender with about half the milk. Place the poppyseed mixture and the remaining milk in a large, heavy saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and stir in the reserved sugar and cornstarch mixture and the almond extract. Simmer, stirring often, until very thick-a matter of a few minutes.
  • NOTE: Some kolache recipes call for "proofing" the yeast in milk, but the fat in milk can actually hinder the yeast's development. It's best to "proof" the yeast in water first and then to add milk later for tenderness.
  • You can make kolaches with sausage or almost any type of cooked fruit filling. Don't use jelly, though, because it's too runny. The fruit needs to be cooked to fruit butter consistency.
  • Make the center depressions carefully so the bread doesn't go flat.
  • Enclose cheese based fillings, like the creamy peach, and poppyseed fillings totally with dough. Stiffer fillings like prune can peer out the top.
  • Don't skimp on the amount of butter brushed on the dough.

I have made it many times for the holidays. there are various recipes. Here goes one of them I will post a picture soon Enjoy

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup(s) sweet cream or evaporated milk
1 small cake of yeast, the recipe calls for 1 cake i believe one envelope of dry yeast equals one cake. do not use quick rising yeast.

3 large egg yolks
- ~~poppyseed filling~~

1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla

1 pound(s) walnuts ground
1/4 cup(s) milk
1 cup(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine cream, yeast and sugar, let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour and butter, add yolks add yeast mixture and work with hands until dough is not sticky and hands are clean.
  • roll out thin, a small piece at a time. Fill with either nut filling or poppyseed filling and roll. Put on cookie sheet and set aside for about 30 minutes in a nice warm place. Let rise. Also Apricot filling is also very delicious, You can use apricot preserves if you do ot like poppyseed or nut fillings.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Delicious Enjoy Above recipe is a Kolacky recipe that is fast. Most Kolacky take much longer because they are left to rise twice.
  • Poppyseed Filling: Combine all the ingredients and cook until the milk is absorbed. Spred on dough and roll up jelly roll fashion pinch edges. Let rise for 30 minutes
  • Walnut Filling: Course grind one pound of walnut meats, Combine with warm milk, butter, and sugar stir well with a wisk until most of the sugar is dissolved, sugar does not have to be totaly dissolved add ground nut meats and spred out on rolled dough.

  • Variation: Cultural Explosion: For my Cream Cheese and Guava filling, take a four ounce package of cream cheese the small one, leave out to soften, then add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and blend in well. The cheese should be very soft to spread easily Spread this cream cheese on the dough, then take guava marmalade (Conchita, Ancel or Goya are brands I buy in the Latin food markets) Guava marmalade comes in a can. Take a large tablespoon and put a few spoonfulls of the marmalade over the cream cheese and spred all over the cream cheese. Then roll jelly roll fashion. Pinch edges or fold under so spread wont come out. Follow the recipe above and bake. Delicious.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the dough is well-chilled before rolling and cutting to prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is easy to handle.
  • Be careful not to overfill the rolls, or they will burst open during baking.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

Conclusion:

Kolacky are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings. Whether you are looking for a traditional Slovak recipe or a modern twist on this classic pastry, you are sure to find a kolacky recipe that you will love.
