Hi! I bet your family recipe is like my Aunt’s recipe. It makes 6-8 doz. It’s not a recipe written like today either. I kinda chuckle on the inside when I see a recipe for 8-12.

I also add a dab of fruit topping to the cream cheese. I make several diff combos. I make the lemon blueberry, freezer strawberry jam, apple cinn. Our town has a pumpkin fest. I’m going to practice a pumpkin spice for thd contest. I like sweet and flavors!

Agreed. The kolaches online now look so manufactured. My grandmother who came over on the boat, made a square, added a little filling and pinched all 4 corners to the center. Folks these days wouldn’t eat the same filling we grew up on! Imagine their noses turned up at a prune, plum, apricot, or , poppyseed kolache. They used local, dried fruit Ha! I found one can of poppyseed filling in Flatonia TX last month. Actually; my aunt gave it to me. She said her mom ground the poppyseeds. The can will make ~20 kolaches. Then I’ll make the filling. It’s really cheaper too, compared to Amazon prices.

I agree with that there must be many recipes for these. My mother-in-law made them and fashioned them into an elongated loaf. She would roll the dough out into a very large rectangle, spread whatever filling she was using, and then rolling so the filling was in layers. She often used prunes apricots, but what was her signature loaf was the poppyseeds kolache.
I regret not baking with her but at the time I was a busy young mother of three and working full time. Now That I am not working I have rediscovered baking and have searched for a recipe that would resemble her. Thank you, Sarah and thank you Bonnie for sharing your feedback.

Hi Shannon – I’m sorry the sour cream dough was so sticky for you. Did you use weight measurements, and did you chill it?

Hello! I am SO GLAD you mentioned this because I made the Sour Cream Dough that is in the 100 Morning Treats and it is NOTHING like the recipe for the dough she has here on the website! The sour cream dough is SO STICKY!!! Kind of frustrating. I am not a great baker but I have made many types of doughs and this one was a challenge. I have them raising before they get assembled and put in the oven so we will see what we get in the end. Will have to try this dough version since everyone is talking about how great it turned out.
Can’t rate this until they are done. 🙂

This dough recipe is AMAZING! I can’t say exactly how close it is to Czech stop kolache because I only had them once years ago, but from what I remember this is pretty spot on. The dough is soft and moist and tender with that buttery flavor… kind of donut-y in flavor but not at all dry. Sooooo goood!!!!

I subbed 200g of the AP flour for bread flour just for kicks. My filling was really similar to the filling here, just with an egg yolk instead of flour, but I think these would turn out great either way.

Also worth mentioning that the instructions here were clearer than the first recipe I tried which I was very grateful for.
