Bread Machine Recipe: Kolaches
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 ⅞ Cup(s) bread flour
- ¼ Cup(s) instant mashed potato flakes
- ⅓ Cup(s) milk powder
- ½ Cup(s) butter melted
- ½ Cup(s) butter softened to room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 egg
- ¼ Cup(s) white sugar
- 2 tsp dry active yeast
- 1 ¼ Cup(s) warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 can 12 oz poppy seed filling
- 1 can 12 oz cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Place the flour, mashed potato flakes, softened butter, sugar, yeast, egg yolk, milk powder and a dash of salt in the pan of a bread machine.
- Crack the egg into it, followed splashes of warm water and set the dough cycle before running the machine to mix the ingredients together to form a dough; knead in another tbsp or two of water after 5 minutes of processing the ingredients if required.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon-worth of dollops of dough onto a cookie sheet, greased previously with a knob of softened butter, and cover them loosely with a plastic sheet.
- Set aside in a warm spot for an hour to allow them rise to twice their previous size.
- Flatten them out between the palms of your hands and make a small well in the centre of each dough ball, using your thumb.
- Spoon a tbsp of the filling into the well of each dough ball and set them aside, covered, for another half an hour to raise again.
- Meanwhile, warm up the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake the pastries for 13-15 minutes or until they are just browned.
- Smother them with a lashing of melted butter to glaze and set aside until they cool down to room temperature.
- Serve and enjoy!
