Authentic Czech Homemade Kolache Recipe

August 26, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

I should start this post by saying, unfortunately I am not of Czech descent. As shown by my grandma’s recipe for spaetzle, my heritage is strongly German. That isn’t stopping me from sharing this Authentic Czech Homemade Kolache Recipe.

Actually, I had never even heard of kolaches until a Kolache Factory opened behind my apartment when I lived in Omaha. After my first visit I was hooked!

Visits to that Kolache Factory became a weekend tradition.

Especially if I had any weekend visitors stop by. This was my place I would take any out of town guests. They quickly understood why.

Upon entering you are greeted with a wall full of baked dough filled with any variety of deliciousness possible.

Sausage, egg, and cheese.

Jalapeno Popper.

Bar-B-Q Brisket

A variety of fruit jams.

But one of my absolute favorites was the cream cheese kolache.

Soft, traditional kolache dough provides a fluffy pillow for a creamy, dreamy cream cheese filling.

As much as I love the cream cheese version, feel free to add whatever filling makes your little heart happy.

Strawberry jam, apricots, cherry pie filling, etc.

Ingredients

Kolache Dough

  • 2 1/4 tsp Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Lukewarm Water
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 4 Tbsp Butter, cubed
  • 2 1/2 – 3 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Instant Potato Flakes
  • 1 Egg, slightly beaten

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

Kolache Dough

  1. Dissolve yeast and 1 tsp sugar into lukewarm water.

  2. Into a microwave safe bowl, put the milk and butter. Microwave just until butter melts. Let cool slightly to 110°F (so it doesn't kill the yeast).

  3. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with salt, sugar, and potato flakes. Add in yeast mixture, warmed milk and butter. Stir to combine. Add the egg and blend into dough.

  4. Knead in remaining flour until dough comes together and it is slightly sticky.

  5. Let dough raise for an hour and a half or until doubled.

  6. Once raised, form dough into 12 balls. Place each dough ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet, cover, and let raise another hour.

Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla.

  2. Once dough balls have risen for an hour. Use the back of a spoon and make an indentation into the ball.

  3. Then fill each indentation with cream cheese mixture.

  4. Bake kolaches at 425°F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Recipe Notes

Instead of cream cheese filling, use your favorite fruit jam or pie filling.
