- The secret to making Andrea Slonecker’s Cherry and Cream Cheese Kolaches is keeping the dough moist, but not too sticky. Andrea suggests filling the pastries with a fruity jam on top of a thick dollop of cream cheese filling. However, any jam will truly make these pastries delicious.

DOUGH
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast 1 cup whole milk, warmed to between 100°F and 115°F 1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 ounces), melted 3 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon kosher salt
CHERRY FILLING
1 pound sweet cherries (about 3 1/2 cups), pitted and coarsely chopped 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup water 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 large egg yolk 1 teaspoon lemon zest
STREUSEL TOPPING
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
EGG WASH
1 large egg yolk 1 tablespoon whole milk
Step 1
Make the dough: Whisk 1 cup flour, granulated sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Add warm milk, and whisk to combine. Set aside until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk together melted butter, egg yolks, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir butter mixture into yeast mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Stir in remaining 2 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time. After the second cup is added and it becomes too difficult to stir, tip the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured countertop, and begin kneading by hand until smooth and springy, 3 to 4 minutes. The dough should be very tacky and a little greasy, but not sticky. If it does stick to the surface, dust with more flour, using as little as possible.
Step 3
Transfer dough to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place bowl in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Step 4
Make the cherry filling: Combine cherries, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature. Stir in lemon juice.
Step
Step 5
Make the cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Make the streusel topping: Stir together flour, sugar, butter, and salt in a small bowl until crumbly. Set aside to let butter solidify. Before using, stir again to create fine crumbs.
Step 7
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces (about 2 1/3 ounces each). Roll dough pieces against work surface with cupped hands to make smooth balls. Transfer dough balls to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and let rise, covered with a damp towel, until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 8
Make the kolaches: Preheat oven to 375°F. Use your fingertips to form 2-inch-wide wells in the center of each dough ball. Whisk egg yolk and milk in a small bowl. Brush outer edges and sides of dough with egg wash. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese filling in each well. Make a smaller well in the center of the cream cheese, and top each with a dollop of cherry filling. Sprinkle with streusel topping. Bake in preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, about 20 minutes.

How To Make Traditional Czech Kolaches | F&W Cooks: At Home Edition
• How To Make Traditiona... - Jak na to + styl
I made poppy seed fillings and also used cottage cheese in my kolaches. I grew poppies in the garden, harvested the poppy seed bowls in the fall, laid them up to dry and cut the seed heads open around Christmas.
I enjoyed watching your video. It shows how much joy you get out of baking perfect looking Koláče. Last weekend I made 50 of them. I have been making them since I was 12. Now I am 71. Over the years, I have been tweaking the recipe and finding new shortcuts. I put the dough in my oven with just the light bulb on. This is the perfect temperature for rising the dough. Or I place the bowl next to a very sunny window. I don't melt the butter. I just take it out of the fridge couple of hours before to allow it to get room temperature. I was raised in Southern Moravia, where they fill Koláče with a pressed cottage cheese aka Farmer's cheese, (tvaroh), rather than cream cheese. We literally fill them, like a dumpling, then gently flatten them with a bottom of a glass and fill the shallow depression with canned fruit, plum butter or apple butter or poppy seed. We call these Moravian Koláče. Each region makes them a bit differently. Last summer, I have taught my two grandsons age 7 and 10, how to make them. They enjoyed the hands-on activity and were proud of the results. I made sure that the tradition of baking Koláče will live on, even when I am gone.
Hi Andrea! I agree with Craig Brown. I'm from The Czech Republic and I made kolaches a million times, but never like yours. Fluffy and tasty! Thanks!
I´m proud of you. Greetings from Czech. Pozdrav z České republiky : )
greetings from America, thats soo cool. im czech and i LOVE yalls food out there
Kolaches are a pastry! Thank you so much! I am a Czech!
I think you got this. The best Kolaches I have ever had are from West Station, TX. The yeast and its flavor appear to be the secret to making great Kolaches. Thank you for sharing.
Best kolache recipe I've ever tried. Dough was perfection & they turned out pillowy, soft & perfect.
Great job, I grew up with the Bohemians on the farms in Minnesota, this was the Sunday treat for the local families.
Her giggles get me😂😂😂😂 thanks for the recipe! I made it and they are DELICIOUS 😋
that was fun, thank you. They look quite delicious.
These look really delicious, just perfect!
Omg I had a physical reaction to the teaser clip of this video. Girl I’m IMPRESSED
Great and simple instructions 👌
Amazing recipe. Fluffy and tasty. Thanks for this video
Made these yesterday and Wow they turned out Perfect 💯 My family are very Happy and my Friends are Jealous 🥰🥰😅😅
My grandmother never used jams or jellies, she cooked down her own cherries, apricots, prunes, etc....and made a poppy seed filling as well. Gosh I wish the adults in my life at the time had paid attention to her and learned her recipes. My lovely Czech grandma passed away when I was seven and she never left written recipes. I'll be 56 this year and I still miss her. 😥💔
😞❤️
Becca,
My babička was Moravian (eastern region in Czech Republic) and her recipe was essentially the same as this recipe (larger quantity of everything because her koláče were so popular). I make them for Easter and Christmas or any special occasion.
With this recipe I know you can make them and revive the memories of your grandmother (babička in Czech).
@@ibsoarin 💖
My mother and grandmother also made their own fillings. Apricot, prune, poppy seed and cottage cheese. My favorite was the cottage cheese (made with lemon zest in it and a few golden raisins). My mother was born in Yukon, OK. Her maiden name was Shedeck and my grandmother's was Svejkovsky.
@@lennarolan3792 my maiden name, as well as my grandmother who made these delicious pastries, was Vavrosky.
Thank you for your wonderful recipe. Best and easiest kolaches I ever made. Great job on your presentation also . Sheila
sounds amazing! Will try these..
You are an excellent baker...
Cant wait to try making
I married into a Czech family in Lincoln, NE/ Seward area. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for your helpful hints! I was successful, finally, with achieving my goal!! Taste just like I remember as a kid eating my grandma/aunts kolaches. My first few attempts were death discs with fruit!
Greetings from Czechia. Your Koláče look great. few things we do differently when it comes to technique are that we are actually cutting them with cookie cutters and so they have lower and denser crusts and spacing them out more on the baking tray so they do not stick together when they puff up in the oven. Kudos for that crumb and the look overall.
Also. did you ever try buchty? basically baked sweet filled buns, crammed into deep dish to bake, only thing separating them being gentle coating of each buchta (singular) with melted butter before baking them. These are obscenely good. filled with jam, poppy seeds or sweetened quark.
That's how my Mother made them. She was half Bohemian. She also only made them with prunes, as that's how she was taught (not my favorite). The other difference is she made her own 'cream cheese' using cottage cheese as a base. She would drain the cottage cheese of the whey overnight, then she would beat it with sugar and cream until smooth.
I have also seen/read/been told that using jam is not the best way to prepare the fruit filling.
Since prune was my least favorite, I loved the church bake sales where all the local women would make kolaches and then we would buy some of theirs. Then, I could get other flavors besides prune!
the best Dough i do it in my life thank you for everything you do it , and you have Simple and beautiful teaching method love you 😘 🇸🇦

great tutorial! I'm going to attempt to make these for Christmas breakfast! does anyone know if you make them the day before should they be stored in the fridge or on the counter? thanks!
Brittney,
It is probably too late to let you know that the koláče can be stored on the counter.
I like to warm up a koláč in the microwave for just a few seconds with a pat of butter on top. Decadent.
Koláče is the plural form and koláč is the singular form in Czech.
Where is your baking sheet from?
you can make donuts with the dough two, put in deepfryer for 1 min 15 sec on each side then sugar coat try it its good
Can I knead in my Kitchen Aid?
Andrea, Can this dough be used also for like pigs in a blanket Kolache?
Yes, but for a more savory dough; you should omit some sugar and add a pinch more salt
@@amosclark9048 I agree. In Texas, the name for the savory version is called klobasnek (klobásník in Czech).
What size is the baking sheet ?
What happened to the steps between dough balls to being flattened out and then the wells put in them?
Phil, Andrea arranged the dough balls on the baking sheet, covered them to proof again, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes. At 8:40 you can see the risen dough balls. She pushes down the center of the risen dough to make the wells.
I hope your kolache (koláče is plural form in Czech) turn out well.
Hey Food & Wine, is there any chance the recipe is available in metric? 👁👄👁
AMAZING THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨ PASTRY,
Please tell me 1 cup how many grams have?
OK.. 👍😉
how mani cups of milk????
1 cup
(click on "show more" beneath video for recipe)
No matter what I do the dough is a sticky mess unless I add way more than 3 cups of flour, but then the dough comes out way too dense and bready.
Mine too
U really should have a list of ingredients ..instructions were a bit confusing
Hello Nina! 😊 Thanks for watching. The recipe and instructions are listed in the video's description. Happy baking!
how the yeast should be done take 1/4 cup hot milk 110 deg no hotter will kill yeast two teaspoons sugar 1 pk yeast whisk milk,sugar sprinkle yeast on top set aside for 20mins to form bubbles if no bubbles yeast no good try again with new yeast then add the rest of the milk when dough is mixed make small hole in dough add 1 tsp baking powder in hole add 1 tsp white vinegar on top of baking powder to form bubbles mix in will help dough to rise
Did I miss something? You didn’t proof the dough twice?
First base with the dough…lmao
Tak toto nie su ceske (Moravske) kolace zly postup(pracovny)a tiez SA neplnia dzemom,ale slivkovym lekvarom 👎
errrr the video goes fro you to make the balls of dough then you pull out a sheet of dough....
Very ocd with measurement
😢 to je hnus
My Czech ancestors are crying . This wrong
I have serious concerns about thus video when the creator DROPS the eggs shells on the floor, picks them up with her HANDS and continues the baking process. She doesn’t wash her hands, has egg yolks on her hands and now has the floor dirt. It WAS SO GROSS.
She clearly washed her hands off camera she even mentions it later on
You touched rAw eggs picked shells off flour didn't wash hands
These are not Koláče! You cant fake the proper procedure, wrong filling, wrong baking. Call it something else.
i listen to a czech lady and she was raised there, and her family is there, and she speaks of the basic traditional fillings, but also says any fillings can be used and takes you on a tour of a traditional christmas festival in the country, where way more then traditional fillings are used. I think that is great, it is a sweet bread, with fillings. widen your horizons.
It look like DONATS!!!
NOT KOLACE!!! You saw KOLACE ONLY. fromEXPRESS TRAIN!
I am from Czechia - Morava & I was
EATING KOLACE ALMOST EVERY DAY
CAUSE MY Grand Mother Was COOKING THEM for BUSSINES
THEY TASTE & LOOK COMPLETLY DIFERENT!
BUT IMPORTANT IS. YOU ARE HAPPY
WITH YOUR KOLACE!!!!
