Sweet & Savory Kolaches

Step 2: Sweet filling method

Sweet topping options

  • Jam
  • Farmers cheese, or cream cheese
  • Sugar
    for sprinkling

From previous steps

  • Dough
  • Egg wash

For the sweet versions, roll out the dough into a 4-inch puck. Then, press the middle with a cup, bowl, or your hand to create an indentation that can hold the filling.

Brush the exterior rim of the shaped kolaches (not the indentation) with the egg wash, then fill: Add a spoonful of your sweet toppings of choice to the center (for example, a spoonful of berry preserves followed by a small spoonful of farmer’s cheese).

Optionally, sprinkle the rim of the exposed dough with coarse sugar.
