I grew up in Southern Moravia region of Czechoslovakia before immigrating to Canada, days after the Russian occupation. My grandma and my mother made delicious koláče, so it's no surprise that I learned how to make them at a pretty young age. I don't remember ever seeing any written recipe. I used to help my mom to make them. And one day, I was ready to make them all by myself. I have been making them ever since. I put the sweet cream cheese filling inside the kolach and enclose it in the dough, almost like a dumpling, with the seam down. And then I top each koláč with half an apricote and gently press it into the koláč, which flattens it. I sprinkle them with a crumbly topping called drobenka (made by rubbing together cold butter/flour/icing sugar with my fingers). I like to add vanilla extract and lemon zest to both the dough and the cream cheese filling. I also mix golden raisins into the cream cheese mixture. I wish I could send you a photo of my version. I love your video and your variation on Czech koláče. What region of Czechoslovakia was your grandma from? Every region has their own variation. My recipe makes 44 kolaches. I share them with my daughter's family and my neighbours. Coincidentally, I made them just 2 days ago. They're all gone. You can never have just one. Right?

You are both a coupla Loon Kolaches! Love the recipe and plan on making this over Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for another great recipe. Keep strong, well, safe, and Loon On Always with Love and Laughter! Grandma would be proud!!

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Thank you so much, Rob! We think Grandma is smiling! Have a wonderful week!!

[@uniform131]

Absolutely love this recipe!!! Being from Texas, this is one of the treats we load up on when we come back to PA. I didn’t have all purpose flour, so I used the bread flour I have, and they turned out so lovely! The pastry is light and formed perfectly around the fruit. Thank you so much for publishing and giving me the confidence to make this Texas treat!

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi there! We can't even begin to tell you how happy you are that you made the kolaches and had such great success with them! You are awesome!!!! Stay in touch!

[@gaylestegall7239]

What a beautiful dough. I can’t wait to try them. They look incredible. 😋. I love the savory and the sweet kolaches.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

We agree! Grandma always made the sweet kind, but we love the savory, too!! xoxo

[@pauld8580]

OMG I love kolaches, love them the way you guys made and of course with sausage and jalapeños!!! Thanks again for another great video! When are y’all debuting on the Food Network???

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Thank you, Paul1!! As soon as Food Network will have us...we're there!!!

[@AlmostMileHighInUtah]

Cant wait to make these. Locking the mixer will prevent the head from bouncing around.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

So true!!! LOL!!

[@barbararichmond499]

They look delicious.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Thank you, Barbara! They really are scrumptious!

[@keiomega]

Hi, you mentioned Sausage savory kolache. Would you use the same recipe to make them?

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi there! Yes! The dough for the kolaches is not a real sweet dough. We'd just wrap the dough around the sausage (similar to a big pigs in a blanket) and then bake. Would be delicious! Let us know if you try them and how they turn out!! YUM!!!

[@keiomega]

Hey! Thanks for writing back. We have a restaurant here in WI. that makes them and also sells them at Farmers Markets. They are round like a roll and stuffed with breakfast items like sausage, egg, and cheese. They are delicious but small and $4.00 each. They can be frozen and taken out when needed, so I would love to make some. Thanks for your recipe! Also found you today and subscribed!

[@marklyn3500]

Loved the show and recipe too. I have my own mom's recipe but will try yours, you can never have too many kolache recipes. My husband isn't as nifty in the kitchen with me but he is superb at keeping the dirty dishes washed for me. By the way I didn't catch how much lemon juice went into the blueberries, was that 1-2 tbsp?

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Thank you so so much! Hey! Any help in the kitchen is amazing! Especially dish washing!! LOL! We go with 2 tbsp lemon juice with the blueberries! Please stay in touch!!

[@markmariniello6152]

Wow amazing! They look out of this world! I have to add this to my Thanksgiving desserts (along with the Italian stuff lol).

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi Mark, they are so festive, especially during the holidays!

[@TK-qu1ht]

Say BTW… We drove thru Mitchell last week. Thought of you two… and this shall serve as a standing invitation to dinner together at Chef Louis’ restaurant on my dime next time you are visiting!

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Chef Louis!!! That's awesome! We'll be making a trip hopefully before the heavy winter rolls in!

[@sev6379]

I've had these and they really czech'd out. I'll see myself to the door.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Okay...we are laughing so hard. You're welcome in our kitchen any time!! LOL!!!!

[@hervaskidom4941]

I love kolaches good cezch food

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

They are the best!!

[@billrockmaker]

How can you have kolaches without prune filling or poppyseed filling? My grandmother was from Czechoslovakian dissent and she made the best kolaches.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Prune and poppyseed filling are awesome. My 100% Czech grandma made them with those fillings, too!

[@LadyChaos1992]

my local American Kolache makes amazing s'mores kolaches!

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Yum!!! S'mores kolaches sound heavenly!!! We'll have to try them next time we make a batch!!!!

[@marisolmarquez5044]

The first Czechs to bounce! LOL😂💞

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

LOL!!!! So silly (but funny)...

[@natewrites7803]

My maternal grandmother was Czeck from Iowa and made them as well only she pronounced them differently with a "chez" sound instead of "cheese" sound at the end. She's been gone for about 20 years, but I never had her recipe, so I can't wait to make these. Thank you!

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

That is so amazing, Nate! We're probably not pronouncing them exactly right...but the recipe is very similar to what Grandma would make. Hope you enjoy them and they bring back beautiful memories!

Traditional Kolache dough has mashed potato in it. This is not your grandma’s dough.

[@debbiemaurer8742]

I miss those, real Polish (aunts husband's mom) recipe did have mashed potatoes in it and the dough was thinner. But any would taste good right now
