  • Currently 5/5 Stars.

For fillings, see Kolaches – Fillings recipe. This recipe was originated in Czechoslovakia and brought to America by my grandmother in the late 1800’s. It has been changed through the years to meet modern ingredient requirements. I do not recommend you try this unless you are very familiar with making yeast breads and/or what a Kolach is. Every Czech family has their own version of this…this is ours…and I feel it is a very authentic one.
