Ham and Cheese Kolache Pockets image

** Based on Sylvia's Kolache Dough (#238688) ** This is how I "copy" the ham & cheese kolaches that a local Houston bakery makes and my kids love! The dough comes from #238688. These make great breakfast sandwiches, lunches or anytime snacks. They keep for about 1 week in the fridge once cooked! These take a while to do (plan an evening!) but taste great and the kids love them!

Time 6h

Yield 12 kolaches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 ounce yeast
1/4 cup warm water (luke warm)
2 cups milk
3/4 cup butter (divided - 1/2 cup solid, 1/4 cup melted)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
6 1/2 cups flour (all purpose)
4 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
2 lbs ham slices (about 36 deli style slices)

Steps:

  • Prepare 1 batch of Sylvia's Kolache Dough (#238688) per directions through step 9. (Note that I use my countertop mixer with the dough hook rather than mixing by hand and usually need about 6 1/2 cups of flour vs. the 6 that Sylvia calls for).
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
  • Roll into round balls and then one at a time:.
  • Roll out each dough ball into an oval about 8" x 6".
  • Layer 3 slices of deli ham and 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar in the middle of the oval.
  • Bring the long ends up and together on top of the cheese (make sure to wrap it up!). Pinch the dough together to seal.
  • Bring the short ends up and together on top of the 1st layer of dough. Pinch the dough together to seal.
  • With your hands, roll each dough pocket around to smooth the seams and shape into a 4"x3" pocket (about 1 1/2 inches thick).
  • Arrange on a greased baking tray.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees until done.
  • Eat hot (very!) or allow to cool completely and store in the fridge. (Note: Let the pockets cool before putting them in bags - otherwise the moisture will condense in the plastic bag and make the dough a bit soggy).

Overall, I thought these kolaches were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either.

These kolaches were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the ham and cheese a little better next time.

The filling in these kolaches was a little bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I had a hard time finding kolache dough at the store. I ended up making my own, which was a bit of a hassle.

These kolaches were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter to the dough next time.

I made these kolaches for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the way the cheese melted and oozed out when you bit into them.
