How to Make Christmas Kolaches
Ingredients:
All-purpose flour - 3 cups
Unsalted butter - 1 cup, softened
Egg yolks - 3
Sour cream - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Dry active yeast - 1 packet
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Fruit jam - for filling
Confectioners' sugar - for dusting
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a circle and place a spoonful of your favorite fruit jam in the center.
Pinch the edges of the dough together to create a small pouch with the jam inside.
Place the kolaches on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the kolaches for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before dusting with confectioners' sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Christmas kolaches!
Variations:
If you want to add a twist to this traditional Christmas kolache recipe, here are a few variations you can try:
Instead of fruit jam, try using poppy seed filling for a more traditional flavor.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top of the dough before adding the filling.
For a savory option, use ham and cheese as the filling instead of fruit jam.
Experiment with different flavors of fruit jam such as raspberry, apricot, or cherry.
Pro tip: These Christmas kolaches can be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Just thaw them at room temperature and warm them up in the oven before serving.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a batch of delicious Christmas kolaches that will be a hit at your holiday gatherings. So why not give this recipe a try and start your own tradition of making these tasty pastries every Christmas? Your family and friends will thank you!
