Kolache is a great pastry with fruit on top.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups warm milk
- 1 1/2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves
Directions
1. Pour warm milk over yeast, and let dissolve. Add sugar, shortening, salt, eggs, egg yolks, and flour. Stir until well combined. Remove dough to a well oiled bowl, and turn once to coat the surface. Cover, and place in a warm area. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
2. Dish out dough with a tablespoon, and roll into balls. Brush each with shortening, and let rise until doubled in bulk.
3. Flatten the balls, and make a depression in the centers. Fill with fruit preserves. Allow to rise.
4. Bake at 375F for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
