i grew up in rosenberg. it's nice that there's someone still doing this because i'm pretty sure the bakeries my parents went to are long gone and you really have to look for places that know what kolache are all about. lots of places make a generic white bread dough, stick a cheap breakfast sausage in it and call it done.

Thank you for KNOWING what a KOLACHE is. What everyone now calls a Kolache is actually a Parsnike, a meat filled donut. My mother was from Eagle Lake, TX and lived a long time in Altair, TX. She loved Prune and Poppy seed Kolaches. And she always told me Kolaches are the Jelly filled donuts and Parsnikes were meat filled. Thank you

I so loved seeing that this young man graduated from culinary school and is bringing a 21st century approach to making classic Czech pastries, while still maintaining his grandmother's European traditions. Great story!

Great video. My wife and I grew up in Orchard which is just 10 miles down the road from you. We live in Macon, GA now and have tried several times to make kolaches with no real success. You’ve made me crave them again so I’ll give them another with the recipe from “Splendid Recipes”. My wife’s mother and sister still live in Orchard so I’ll ask them if they know about your place. Good luck.

As a person born and raised in Czech republic this amazes me. I wouldn't have thought people so far away would be interested in something like that. I really glad though. Also the fact that there is the "Bez práce nejsou koláče" sign is really cute. I'm kind of curious as well. Isn't it difficult to make them because of flour? I always see czech people in the US complaining abou never being able follow the recepie correctly, because it's not possible (or is really hard) to find flour like we have in here.

Czech Republic .....( Now called) my Grandfather came from Prague Czechoslovakia. Settled in Hillsboro, Wisconsin USA. I grew up on poppy seed Kolaches. Homemade by my Norweign mother and from the bakery in Hillsboro, Wisconsin. Czech Capital in Wisconsin. Love that little city under 1200 population. I live 1 hour away now. Do you know or make a ground beef onion shredded cabbage filled bun bread. Don't know where my Mom got that recipe from. Also do you know what shmunda is? My grandmother made this dish. ground potatoes, onions lots of garlic maybe eggs some flour. Made in large pan 2 inches thick of potato. Baked very crispy on outside. Don't know where this recipe came from. My parents and grandparents passed away so can not ask.

@@deb4735 Hi, it might be a bit late for me to reply to your comment. I'm Czech, born and raised in Ostrava. I don't know about the bun bread, but the "shmunda" is our bramborák (pronounced brahm-bohr-ack) :) Depending on the region it is also called cmunda (tsmoon-dah) or vošouch (voh-shoh-ookh) :) If you want to, I'll wrote the recipe here: (for 10 bramboráks) - 2 lbs potatoes - salt - pepper - 0.5 lbs all-purpose flour - 1 egg - 4 garlic cloves - 2 teaspoons of marjoram - a cup of milk - sunflower oil - caraway seeds Wash, peel and finely grate the potatoes. Strain the excess water from the potatoes. Peel and grate the garlic and add it to the bowl with the potatoes. Heat up the milk and add it to the bowl while it's hot. Then add the eggs and flour and mix it. Season it with salt, pepper, marjoram, caraway seeds and mix again. If the dough is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more flour. Heat up oil in a frying pan and spread the dough on it (remember, the bramboráky should be around the size of your palm). It should be not too thin but also not too thick so that they cook well on the inside. Fry them until they're golden-brown on each side. You can add smoked ham, bacon, škvarky or even sour cabbage into the dough if you're feeling a little adventurous :)

There's no 'polohrubá' or 'hrubá' flour in US. Only fine flour (hladká mouka). So if recepie calls for fine flour there shouldn't be a problem.

Nick, If you've got time, get in contact with me. I have some Czech cookbooks that you might want to take a look at. We need a baker that's serious about their heritage and with all the major bakeries mass producing Kolache, they really aren't at all what they used to be and I think you have an advantage to help bring about a new golden age in Czech-Texas baking.

Great job. The only thing I would note that cream cheese is not really typical filling for authentic Czech kolache. It's filling made of unsalted ' tvaroh ' (farmers cheese). But I can see how in America you would use cream cheese as farmers cheese is not very common here. And also 'drobenka' is dry mixture of butter, flour and sugar that goes on top of filling before you bake it. Nice you keep tradition 🙂

We use less dough and more filling and usually make them much larger in diameter in Czechia. This diameter resembles more like something we call "svatební koláčky" or "wedding kolache" - these are small (basically one bite) and usually served on weddings with cream and icing sugar on top. Less dough and more filling either way, there is usually just a thin edge of dough around the filling. Very often there is a plum jam in the middle and poppy seed filling or "tvaroh" filling around (something like a soft cheese but not quite, a quark is very close to it). We usually add almonds and raisins on top before baking. Good job anyway :)

I come from El Campo, Czech! I was impressed that you knew that "sausage kolach" isn't! You got to heat the milk to kill the enzyme that will kill the yeast. Just enough to make the milk bubble along the edge of the pot but not a boil. I use buttermilk. Also, I take a packet of cream cheese, an egg, 1/4 cup of sugar mix(enough for 2 doz kolache) and spoon a little into each kolach before the fruit. Brings it up a notch. Try it! In Czech the "e" at the end is like an "s" in English and makes a word plural so saying "kolaches" is like saying mices.

Fun fact: koláče is a plural. Therefore adding a "s" at the end is nonsensical. Singular of koláče is koláč. The pronounciation is one (koh-laach) and two (koh-laah-cheh)

Hello. Not sure if it helps, but the recipe scribbled on the paper is not for koláč, but for štrúdel, which is a different type of pastry. And how you got poppyseed fillings there, i thought its available only in Centran and Eastern Europe :D
@palacinkasmarmeladou4 жыл бұрын
You can get poppy seeds here. Usually in stores they sell small amounts with spices and it's a bit expansive. If you want more for baking it's better to go to farmers market and buy bulk. (Which is mostly imported and much cheaper).
