Slovak Poppy Seed Kolache

I hope you try this fantastic poppy seed Kohlache. The following recipe will make two poppy seed rolls. The recipe was all in metric weights and I can provide that is you need it but we converted it as follows:

· 6 Cups of Flour. ( we have found that cake flour works much better then all purpose flour)

· 1/3 cup of powdered sugar (goes in to the flour)

· ½ tsp of powdered sugar (goes into the warm milk)

· 2/3 cup of milk (include the ½ tsp sugar and make luke warm)

· 1 small package of Fleishmann’s active yeast

· 3 egg yolks

· 2 tsp of baking powder

· 2 sticks, +1/2 tbsp of cold (unsweetened) butter

· 2 cans (12-1/2 oz) of poppy seed pie filling

· 1 whole egg (beaten and brushed on rolls just prior to putting in oven)

Follow the video and place in a 350 degree over for approximately 30 minutes, until golden brown. Mix the dry ingredients first, then the grated butter while the yeast is doing its thing in the warm milk. Add the milk and egg yolks and mix together well until you have a soft and smooth clump of dough (may need to cut into two clumps). Let it rest for about 10 minutes before you start rolling it out.

Polish Kolaczki (Filled Cookies)

A soft rich dough filled with fruit preserves, nuts or poppyseeds. Kołaczki are a traditional favorite in Poland and Central Europe.

In this video, I walk you through making the dough, prepare a nut filling, and talk about other fillings you might use.

We’ll roll out the Kołaczki dough and talk about several options for cutting it into 2-inch squares. I’ll share tips to ensure your cookies stay folded over while baking.

You’ll want to include these for Christmas and your baking for other special occasions. I bake them ahead of time and freeze until the day I need them. Dust them with powdered sugar just before serving.

Ingredients for dough
1 1/2 cups butter (340g), softened
8 ounces cream cheese (225 g), softened
3 cups all-purpose flour (360 g)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream the butter and cream cheese. Incorporate the flour and salt. Chill the dough for at least an hour or over night. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thick and cut into 2-inch squares. Put 1/2-1 teaspoon of your favorite filling to the center. Lift up two opposing corners, pinch them together with a dab of water. Fold the point to one side. Bake at 350 F (180 C). Cool, dust with powdered sugar.

Nut filling Ingredients
8 ounces walnuts (225g)
1 cup sugar (200 g)
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Add a few drops of water (if needed)

Finely chop the walnuts with a knife or steel blade in a food processor. Add the sugar, egg white, and extracts. If you mixture is too dry (not coming together) add a few drops of water. Use for Kołaczki or other recipes.

You’ll find koŁaczki and a different filling recipe on my website at
