HOMEMADE SAUSAGE KOLACHES
These are mouthwatering. Make plenty for a weekend breakfast. It's worth the effort! They freeze well, too, and can be heated in the oven at 350 for about 12 - 14 minutes, or in the microwave for a few seconds if thawed (about 1 1/2 minutes if frozen). Very convenient for a grab and go breakfast.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the water.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg yolks, milk, and salt, combining well.
- Stir in the dissolved yeast and the flour, and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended into a soft dough.
- Cover the dough with a towel, and set the dough aside to rise to about double in size, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Grease a baking sheet.
- Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a golf ball, flatten the balls slightly, and transfer them to the baking sheet.
- Place the balls at least 1 inch apart, and brush them liberally with the melted butter.
- Set them aside to double in size again, about 45 minutes to one hour.
- Gently indent the top of the dough with your thumb, fairly deep.
- Place the little pinky size smoked sausage link (could be a spicy sausage link, or could add cheese and/or jalapeno with the sausage link, too) in the indent and fold the kolache over the sausage and seal.
- Bake in 425 oven for 10- 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Immediately brush butter on the top.
- They are best eaten as soon as they are cool enough to handle.
EASY SAUSAGE KOLACHES - THAT TASTE HOMEMADE!
You can never make enough of these. This appetizer disappears from the table so quick it makes my head spin! It is so easy to make and no one needs to know how easy these are. Serve them with a variety of sauces...cranberry, apple butter barbeque, or guiness mustard sauce. All of those are posted on my page. Enjoy! Pictures...

Steps:
- 1. On wax paper sprayed with cooking spray let dough pieces thaw to room temperature. I spray the tops of dough pieces and cover with plastic wrap while they are thawing.
- 2. With a rolling pin - roll a piece of dough, place a sausage link in the center and wrap dough around it. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Continue until all kolaches are assembled.
- 3. Spray tops of kolaches and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size about an hour. Remove plastic wrap for baking.
- 4. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown about 20 minutes depending on your oven. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and spices.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Be careful not to over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
- Be patient when shaping the kolaches. It takes a little practice to get them just right.
- Bake the kolaches until they are golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Homemade sausage kolaches are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a little practice, you can make kolaches that are just as good as the ones from your favorite bakery. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give these homemade sausage kolaches a try.
