Thank you very much for posting this recipe!
I will try it out tomorrow but I would like to know what type of flour you use? Is it all purpose or bread flour?
I grew up in Michigan and kolaches were always a treat from our local bakery where I have many fond memories.

Best regards
Tom

Oh my gosh, I am so excited to find this authentic recipe. I’m originally from Nebraska and my grandmother and I used to make kolaches when I was little but no one seems to have the recipe she used. She’s been gone for 30+ years but I still remember “helping” her and getting full of flour yet she never got mad. She would let us make little pie crusts with the leftover dough and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on them and bake them. Mmm.. I haven’t made kolaches for years but wanted to start again with my daughters. My favorites were poppy seed, cherry and apricot. Dad and grandpa loved the prune ones! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

You mean when it the dough was rising? If that’s the case you have to cover the bowl with the rising dough with a piece of dishcloth.

When I made them the dough began to dry out towards the end. Is there a way to prevent this? It was only the second time in my life making kolaches!!

These sound great. As other people have stated the kolache is a big hit at our family reunions here in Iowa. Some of the ones that used to make these have either passed away or are getting too old to bake anymore. I have been bringing a dish that my dad used to make and has been a big hit. The casserole he called kapusta is made with pork, cabbage, onion, tomatoes, and caraway seed.

I may try to make kolaches next year along with the kapusta!
