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.

Hi Frank
You are probably looking for Christmas cookies called “Pracny or Medvědí tlapky”. These are petite little cookies, where the dough is pressed into little forms of many different shapes. After backing, you would coat them in powder sugar, or dip in chocolate. There is also another type of cookie that uses the same dough as the “Linecké cukrovi”, called Košíčky, pressed into forms and than filed with filings. There are many kinds of these cookies using Formičky ( the little forms). I do have some of these recipes, just not translated jet, and I was not sure if people would be interested in something like this since you need to have the forms to do it. Do you have the forms? If yes, I will be happy to send any recipe you would like, here is your pick to start with: – Pracny Světlé (Light, cookie with walnuts or almonds,coated with powder sugar)
Pracny Tmavé (dark, with cocoa, choice of nuts, coated with powder sugar)
Medvědí tlapky (dark,with chocolate pieces and nuts dipped in chocolate).
My Grandma made Kolache every morning for breakfast. She made it the size of a pie with cheese or prune. She also made sweet cinnamon rolls for us kids. The Kolaches here in the USA are usually like Buchty here in Texas. My grandma’s Kolace was open faced like a pie and had more filling than dough. My family left Austria/Hungary (Bohemia) in the 1880’s so we were called Czech or Bohemians. Don’t know much about are last name spelled originally “Janca”.
Wow every morning? lucky you! Janca could be pronounced ether [ yantsa] or [Yancha] dipending on if the c had a little (v ) symbol above it .Thanks for sharing
Just returned from the city of Domazlice, Czech Republic and had this most amazing kolache! Thank you for sharing a recipe and this website!
