Sausage and Egg Kolaches

Non-dairy Milk

Yeast (Active Dry)

Tablespoons Sugar

Flour

Olive Oil

Egg Yolks

Salt

Mild Sausage (casings removed)

½ Onion (diced)

eggs Scrambled

salt and pepper

Tablespoons Melted Vegan Butter (to brush the tops)

Heat ⅔ cup non-dairy milk to 100-110°F.

In the base of a standing mixer stir together heated non-dairy milk, 2 Tablespoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons yeast. Allow to sit 10 minutes while yeast activates.

Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl measure out 3 cups flour and ¼+⅛ teaspoon salt. Set aside.

Turn the mixer on medium-low and stir in2 egg  yolks and ⅓ cup oil with a dough hook. Gradually spoon in flour and salt mixture until incorporated. Leave the dough to knead until soft to the touch, but not sticky, about 5 minutes.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a dish towel and allow to double in size, about an hour.

Prepare the Dough

While the dough is rising, heat a skillet to medium. Brown 1 pound sausage with ½ diced onion. Place cooked sausage and onions in a bowl when finished.

In the same pan, scramble 8 eggs and cook until desired consistency. Pour cooked scrambled eggs over the sausage and onion mixture. Stir to mix together and set aside.

Prepare the Fillings

Punch the dough down and pour it out onto a counter. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll the dough pieces into balls and then roll the balls out into 5-6 inch circles. Scoop 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the dough.

Tuck the filling into the dough by pulling the bottom right corner over the filling and into the middle, then the bottom middle section, the bottom left corner, the left side section, the top left corner, the top middle section, the top right corner, and the right side section.

Place the closed kolache, pinched side down in a 9 x 13 pyrex dish. Repeat with remaining 11 dough balls. Cover the filled kolaches with a dish towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the tops of the kolaches with melted vegan butter. Bake 18-20 minutes.

Czech Kolaches Recipe

instant yeast

butter (melted)

milk

Egg wash

oz cottage filling

oz cream cheese

Tbsp any fruit jam

tbsp flour

tbsp sugar

butter

In a bowl for the electric mixer, stir together flour, powdered sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the egg yolks, melted butter and milk, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Attach a dough hook to the mixer and knead the dough for 5 minutes.

Transfer the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover tightly with a plastic wrap. Punch a hole for ventilation and cover with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 1 hr.

Punch the dough to remove the gas. Form the dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Form each dough piece into a ball shape and place in a half sheet pan lined with a parchment paper, place them apart. You should be able to fit all 12 pieces in a pan.

Flatten down each dough balls with your fingers, then using a glass bottom or anything that has 2.5-inch diameter on a flat surface, press down to leave an indentation. Cover them with a towel and let it rise second time until double in volume.

Meanwhile prepare the cheese filling by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl; set aside.

To make the streusel, mix flour, sugar and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and combine together with your fingers until it forms fine crumbs; set aside.

For the fruit jam filling, mix jam and water and microwave for 7-10 seconds to loosen; Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 375˚F.

When the dough pieces are risen again, press again with a glass bottom to leave deeper indentation. Be careful not to deflate the dough. Brush with egg wash.

Fill each piece with 1 tablespoonful of cheese filling, and 2 teaspoonful of jam filling and sprinkle with streusel topping all over. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them rest in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer on to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Thank you for those helpful tips, as well as the whole egg vs egg yolk question.  It makes perfect sense.  I’ll give it a go.  Have a great day! 

Hello, in the video you say knead for 5 min and in the instructions you say 3 mins. Which one is it? I'm wanting to try and make these, but I'm new to the making your own dough portion of baking.
