Sausage And Cheese Kolache
- FOR THE DOUGH:
- 2 packages Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce Packets
- 1 cup Warm Milk
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- 3/4 teaspoons Salt
- 3-1/2 cups Flour, Sifted
- 1/2 cups Melted Butter
- 3 whole Egg Yolks
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 pound Breakfast Sausage
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/2 cups Mild Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- FOR THE WASH:
- 2 whole Egg Yolks
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- FOR THE DOUGH
- In a large mixing bowl combine the yeast, milk and sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Slowly add the salt, flour, butter and yolks into the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook and your stand mixer, mix until well kneaded about 3-4 minutes. Cover and place the bowl in a warm place for at least an hour.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a floured surface. Cut the dough in half and then divide those pieces into indivdual long strips. I made about 15 strips. Roll the strips into balls and then flatten the balls with your hand and place on a greased or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Let the dough circles rise an additional 15 minutes.
- FOR THE FILLING
- While the dough is rising heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add and cook the sausage with salt until sausage is brown. Remove sausage from the pan onto a paper towel lined plate.
- Grab one of the dough circles and create a small dip in the center and fill with the sausage and little bit of the cheese. Bring all of the ends together and mash together with fingers. You want a complete ball. Place it back on the baking sheet.
- When all balls are created make the egg wash by mixing together the yolks and the milk. Brush the tops of the kolache with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
- Adapted the dough recipe from the Houston Chronicle.
