Instructions
- Toppings required for this recipe are: Poppy seed filling, cream cheese filling, and plum sauce filling. Make these toppings in advance and refrigerate.
- Melt butter in the microwave and set aside.
- Warm 2 cups of milk, and pour one cup in the bowl, add pinch of sugar, and yeast. Stir with your finger and set aside.
- In a dough mixer, place flour, sugar, yolks, lemon zest, salt, melted butter, yeast mixture, and rest of the milk.
- Mix the dough and if sticky add more flour. Dough shouldn’t stick to the walls of the bowl. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rest in a warm place.
- Koláče are usually round shape but size are many. From 2 inches to 16 inches. The technique of decorating larger shapes can be more difficult, but definitely more striking.
- After about an hour, empty the bowl on a floured surface, divide the dough into eight even pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle like pizza.
- Place your desired toppings in Ziplock bags, cut a small corner off, and twist the bag around the filling.
- Place the two of the rolled out pieces on a greased cookie sheet.With your finger create an edge.
- To decorate the Koláče, hold the bag with filling in both hands and start squeezing the filling on the dough. Create your own design, by switching different fillings. The easiest way to do this is, if you start ½ inch from the edge, and trace the shape of the circle with your first filling, and work your way to the center. You may also decorate with raisins and almonds(boil almonds for 5 minutes and than peal the skin off, cut in half).
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a cup beat one egg with 2 tablespoons of water and brush the egg wash on the edges of the dough. Bake for 20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar when cool.
