Makes enough for 12 kolaches or klobasniky

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 to 4¼ cups (500 to 531 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
⅓ cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
2½ teaspoons (7.5 grams) kosher salt
1 (0.25-ounce) package (7 grams) instant yeast*
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup (180 grams) whole milk
⅓ cup (76 grams) unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup (60 grams) water
2 large eggs (100 grams)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1¼ cups (156 grams) flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and nutmeg at medium-low speed until well combined.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat milk, butter, and ¼ cup (60 grams) water over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat at medium-high speed for 2 minutes. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2¾ cups (344 grams) flour, beating just until combined and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
  • Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, 6 to 8 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl and dough hook; add remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if necessary. (Dough should pass the windowpane test [see Note] but may still stick slightly to sides of bowl.) 4. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.

SYLVIA'S KOLACHE DOUGH



Sylvia's Kolache Dough image

This is another recipe my grandma submitted to the family cookbook she made for us. Her story for this recipe is as follows; "I got this recipe back in the 60s when I moved to Karnes City. I can't remember where I got it. I have used it many times over the years making kolaches and cinnamon rolls. My family always and still does like dessert. They are great to have on hand for thanksgiving or Christmas morning when everyone is hungry and you're busy trying to get the special holiday dinner prepared. The kolaches and cinnamon rolls can be made the day before or several days ahead and frozen. Please try your hand at these, I always loved making these, a little trouble, but you will get compliments. From scratch cooking and baking is a dying art." I have made these repeatedly since I received my cookbook for Christmas. They take a long time but are so rewarding!!! There are a bunch of variations that you can do with this dough, from sausage and cheese to fruit filed or making homemade cinnamon rolls, I will try and share the wealth with you guys.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect kolache dough, use high-quality ingredients. This includes using real butter, fresh milk, and all-purpose flour.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start. This will help to create a flaky dough.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Do not press down too hard, or you will end up with a tough dough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, or the dough will become dry.
  • When filling the kolaches, do not overfill them. This will prevent them from bursting open in the oven.
  • Bake the kolaches until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the kolaches.

Conclusion:

Kolaches are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own kolache dough at home. By following the tips in this article, you can create perfect kolaches that your family and friends will love.
