Recipe Clipping For KolachiThis recipe was clipped from a newspaper and found in a large collection, date unknown. Kolachi is a type of pastry with a fruit or nut filling. Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy below.

The dough for Mrs. Minerich’s kolachi is easy to make, and needs only one rise. For an apricot version, substitute canned apricot filling — about one cup for each roll — for the nut mixture.

KOLACHI
Dough

1 cup warm milk
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup butter, melted
4 eggs, beaten
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in milk and set aside. In large bowl, combine melted butter and eggs. Stir in sugar. Add yeast-milk mixture and vanilla and stir well. Stir in flour, a little at a time. Add salt and mix well.

Divide dough into six equal portions. Roll out each portion on floured pastry cloth to a 9-by-15-inch rectangle. Spread entire surface of each rectangle with about 1 1/3 cups nut mixture. Starting with long edge of dough, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch ends and fold under to seal.

Place rolls, seam-side down, on lightly greased cookie sheets. Let rise, uncovered, in warm place for about 1 1/2 to two hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool, and brush with more melted butter, if desired. Serve with butter or cream cheese. Makes six loaves.

Nut filling

3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. ground walnuts
2 to 3 tbsp. milk

Combine egg whites, sugar, vanilla and walnuts in bowl, and add enough milk so that mixture is of spreading consistency. Makes enough filling for three rolls.

One of my favorite things – the recipe I have calls for evaporated milk. Other fillings are poppy seeds, almonds, christmas fruit mix, and for the people who are allergic to nuts I have made with with cinnamon and brown sugar – I have also seen recipes where they fill it with egg white and dates, etc – no matter what you fill it with it is a recipe worth having handy and these rolls freeze well – great for entertaining, giving as gifts with cookies, etc. enjoy

My grandparents lived in a small czech community in Iowa. My grandmother was a pro at kolaches. Made them for many functions. The most common was prune kolaches,but also made cherry, peach,apple and poppyseed. I just loved the sweet dough with the yummy fillings! Have not had anything that compares to hers. I am definately going to try this one. It may be THE one.

Another classic filling is sieved cottage cheese, enriched with egg yolk, vanilla, white raisins (probably soaked-milk?). I once used a quick bread dough recipe using cream cheese in the dough (nice). One can make individual “tarts.”
