Milk, eggs, butter, flour, yeast, sugar, and salt getting thoroughly kneaded. It's time for kolaches! Trying out tbe recipe @dolari shared.

Mixing up the cheese filling!

RISE my children! <cackle/>

In you go!

And done! Kolaches! 4 with cheese blend only, 4 with cheese and a strawberry-rhubarb jam, and 8 with lemon curd.

@dolari they turned out great! I may have slightly overbaked them, but I had to rotate the trays to let the ones that had been on bottom get some top rack time. I'll adjust on the next batch.

@TonyaMarie @dolari ah yes the other kind of kolache, looks amazing.

@secant2 @dolari

OK, you have baited the hook, I'll bite. What do *you* consider to be a kolache? 😁

@TonyaMarie @dolari in Texas we make kolaches with meat, a result of Czech immigrants moving there in the 1800s. I made some for the first time this week. It's like a meat pastry, I just have a hot dog and cheese and some jalapeño slices in there.

@secant2 @TonyaMarie - Ah, the "pigs in a blanket" version.
They're actually "Koblanisky" but in Texas they've inherited the name Kolache since they're often sold together.

That said...I WOULD LOVE YOUR RECIPE. This is the third of the Texas Baking Trifecta I need to master.

@dolari @secant2 That's the word! I couldn't remember it!

And what is the other corner of the Texas Baking Trifecta?

@TonyaMarie @secant2

1) Kolache: Almsot Mastered
2) Koblanisky: Never tried. Planning to make them soon using the kolache dough for the bread, like Weikels' does, but don't have a good recipe for the construction of the roll.
2) Cinnamon Rolls: MASTERED, OMG MASTERED FIRST TIME.
