One thing I miss about living in Provo is all the unique and delicious restaurants. It seems like there’s always something new popping up. I’m sure there are a bunch of places here in Denver, but in Provo, there was a wide variety of places in close proximity. I never got bored with the food there.
A few months ago, we went back to Provo, and I met up with some of my friends one morning. Cortney suggested we get some Kolaches – which I had never heard of. But I’m all about trying new foods, so I picked up a few on our way to her house.
Oh man. I was sold on them after the first bite. Kolaches are a pastry (that originated in Central Europe) filled with meats, fruit, or cheese (or a combination of them all.) I have no idea how authentic they were at the place we went, but they were so good.
When we got back to Denver, I decided that I needed to make them myself! However, I didn’t really feel like going to the effort of making the bread myself. When I saw some ofSister Schubert’s® Dinner Yeast Rollsat Walmart, I knew they’d be the perfect way tool to make semi-homemade and easy kolaches.
One of my favorites was a strawberry cream cheese kolache, so I decided to make one similar to that. However, using the recipe above, you can use any jam that you want (or even just cream cheese.) You could also fill it with sausage, potatoes, etc. The sky is the limit!
But see how easy these are to make? It really just took 5-10minutes to get everything prepped and ready!
While these are a great treat any time of day or year, with Easter coming up, I think it would be a fun addition to add to the table. It’s a bright, flavorful dessert that would go great with an Easter ham and potatoes. You could even pull double duty and buy a big bag ofSister Schubert’s® Dinner Yeast Rolls to go with dinner, and then make these for dessert. They are truly some of the best tasting frozen rolls I’ve ever had! Be sure to check outSister Schubert’s® Facebook Pagefor more yummy ways to use them!

Kolaches are best kept at room temperature in a sealed container. They can dry out quickly, so keep them in an air tight container until right before serving. Storing your kolaches in the refrigerator may extend their shelf life.
Combine milk, butter and eggs together in measuring cup (will be lumpy) Combine dry ingredients (ie, flour, sugar, yeast, salt) in the bowl of a standing mixer then add milk mixture from step 1 and knead for 2 minutes on low speed.
Cream cheese should not be left out longer than two hours at room temp (or higher than 40 degrees F) because it then becomes a playground for nasty bacteria like salmonella. No one wants a trip to the emergency room over the carrot cake. If it's been out for longer than two hours, toss it—better safe than sorry.
The sugar dissolves in the cream for a silky, grit-free frosting. Whipped cream aerates the cream cheese, making it fluffy and light. A relatively small proportion of sugar keeps the frosting thick, firm, and none too sweet.
Smith said one kolache only contains between 100 and 250 calories, depending on the size and filling. Compared to a plain doughnut, which ranges between 160 and 300 calories before any filling or icing is added, it definitely makes more of a mark in the healthy arena.
Kolaches were brought to Texas by Czech immigrants and now have a cult-like following, for good reason. Almost a Danish pastry, they are made with a brioche-like bread dough instead of laminated layers; their centers filled with creamy sweet cheese and the slightest hint of lemon.
Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Croatia all made their own versions of kolache, with various spellings (and the Russian kulich can be seen as its Orthodox cousin). Bohemians and Moravians paired the pastry with povidla, a kind of plum butter.
Klobasneks are much more commonly known as kolaches in Texas, but should not be confused with traditional Czech kolaches, which are also popular and are known by the same name. Klobasneks are similar in style to sausage rolls, but the meat is wrapped in kolache dough.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that any foods made with cream cheese, including cream cheese frosting, need to be refrigerated within two hours. This includes baked goods made with cream cheese, such as pound cakes and cream cheese cookies.
At room temperature, cream cheese frosting only lasts two hours, which is why it needs to be refrigerated if you don't want to waste leftovers. Cream cheese frosting will usually last in the refrigerator for up to a week, which gives you plenty of time to use it on various baked goods.
