For Dough…see “Kolache – Dough” recipe. Most of these recipes originated in Czechoslovakia and were brought to America by my grandmother in the late 1800’s. There have been changes made throughout the years to meet modern ingredient requirements. To make the authentic poppy seed filling you will need a poppy seed grinder. You can find one on the internet, about $40. There are other methods for this and I will go over those in the directions. Each Czech family has their own version of fillings and dough…this is ours…and I believe to be the most authentic. I would not attempt to make kolaches unless you are familiar with yeast dough as they are difficult.

For fillings, see Kolaches – Fillings recipe. This recipe was originated in Czechoslovakia and brought to America by my grandmother in the late 1800’s. It has been changed through the years to meet modern ingredient requirements. I do not recommend you try this unless you are very familiar with making yeast breads and/or what a Kolach is. Every Czech family has their own version of this…this is ours…and I feel it is a very authentic one.

This came from a very popular restaurant in Dallas, Texas, 1970’s called “Southern Kitchen”; it is now closed down…but it’s rolls are still well remembered! I clipped this from a newspaper soon after they closed.

Make a double batch, bake in small bread pans, give as gifts! Freezes well.

Not a traditional strudel, but a sweet yeast bread dough.
This recipe makes two rolls, one for now, one to freeze or share.

You can cook these on a camp out or in your oven at home!

Everyone had their version of this. This is a really old/original version.

“Antique Recipe”
Came over from Czechoslovakia with my grand mother in the late 1800’s.

I think this is the first “recipe” I ever saved from home ec class in the 1960’s!!
