How to Make Cream Cheese Kolaches / Twisted Mikes

[@joesmith7427]

You need to adjust the height on your mixer. There is a screw adjustment to raise or lower the mixer head. Thats why your sides of the bowl are not getting mixed with the bottom of the bowl. Some people dont know there is any adjustment, well there is!! 😊

[@TwistedMikes]

thank you for the information on the mixer, we appreciate it

[@karinasulger9431]

@@TwistedMikes wow, can u not just leave 1 comment, this is not a conversation sight , ask ur ? or recommend , but leaving tons of comments every few mins is just nonsense , sry but thats jmo

[@galemartin3277]

Where is that adjustment?? I didn't know that either.

[@twistedeats2220]

@@galemartin3277I am not sure what stove you have. If you have an electric stove you might be able to set the temperature at 80. If not, just put some plastic wrap or a clean cloth on top of bowl and let it rise at room temperature until your dough doubles in size each time.

Growing up in Czechoslovakia, I have been helping my mom make Moravian Kolaches since I was a kid. Lately, I make a double batch of them to share with my daughter's family. I make them stuffed with the sweet cottage cheese, with half of a canned apricot. I make them about once a month. When and where did YOU first learn how to make Kolaches? I like how you allow them extra space on the baking pan, so they would not touch. I like it when they are perfectly round. After all, the Czech word Koláč is derived from the word kolo, which means circle. I understand that kolaches are quite popular in Texas, where there is a large Czech community.

[@TwistedMikes]

The other toppings sound delicious. We make them on occasion, but not that often, maybe once every year or two. They taste delicious, but while trying to do a KZbin channel we end up doing a lot of other recipes. It is a great tradition, especially around the holidays. Thank you for commenting and giving us your versions of the kolaches. We appreciate it.

[@jerewallace6478]

Yes kolaches are very popular in Texas. There is a Czech community about 15 miles from Waco The village bakery there sells the best ones around.

[@TheJaniceJoy]

My grandparents were from Romania. We grew up enjoying similar pastries with prune, poppyseed, walnut and apricot fillings. It seems most countries in and around Europe enjoyed their own versions of sweet doughs and these lovely fillings. How wonderful that these recipes haven’t been lost over time. Btw, my grandmothers sweetened “farmer’s cheese” for their fillings.

[@TwistedMikes]

@@TheJaniceJoy sounds delicious, we appreciate you watching and telling us about your amazing memories. Have a great dnay

[@JS-jl1yj]

@@TheJaniceJoy Yes, I add sugar, eg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon zest to the cheese and some golden raisins. Here in Canada, the they call your farmer's cheese "pressed cottage cheese". Same cheese, just different name.

I just finished making these for the first time. I followed your recipe and directions exactly. They are delicious! My husband is swooning. You are right in saying they are time consuming. However, they are not labour intensive and you can do other things while waiting on them to raise. Plus, you get enough to feed a lot of people. Thank you kindly for taking the time to share.

I loved this recipe. I made my dough in the bread machine and actually forgot about it. Four hours later I removed it from the bread machine and refrigerated it. The bread machine does the first rise; then I left it overnight. Did everything else the same and they were so billowy and delicious. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

My grandfather made us these. He was from Moravia. I am thankful for the recipe. He use to use a clean sock filled with some flour to pounce in each kolache and then filled them with prune or cottage cheese filling. So many years ago and yet I can taste them as I write this. Thank you.

Easier option for the oven proofing. Turn the oven on to warm up to about 100F (or just until it feels like a hot day) and leave the oven light on. That’ll hold the temperature well.
