OT - Kolaches redux

Found some jars of homemade jam/marmalade accumulating in the fridge, so had another go at kolaches. 

A dollop of lemon pineapple, orange grapefruit orange, or peach habanero bourbon jam in a bunch of them. And some with a cream cheese filling. 

Made enough to share with a few friends :)

    On a Sunday morning with this... you are killing me.  

    Seriously, I think I could eat that entire tray.

    I remember your previous post on these, which looked awesome.  This go-round looks even better.
    Have any Czech blood in your linage somewhere?

    Thanks. Used some bread flour this time, and some lard. Might skip the lard next time. 

    And not aware of any Czech blood in my lineage :) Doesn’t mean that there isn’t any

    Peaches were good last summer, so made a batch with habaneros from the garden. And some bourbon, of course =).

    Needs more bourbon next time. For both -  the jam, and the cook!

    Well worth the relatively small amount of effort. And a great vehicle for homemade jam/preserves.

    Yup. Very similar. My understanding is that danishes are more flaky, while kolaches are more yeasty, bready. 

    I like 'em both :)

    you’re my favorite, Cali.  My grandma Mabel used to make kolaches.  She’s send us home with 3-4 dozen, typically cherry, strawberry, lemon and prune. They rarely survived the two hour drive back to our place.  Kolaches will always have a soft spot in my heart.  RIP Gramma!

    Those look awesome.  Great aunt on my mom’s side was first generation in the US Czechoslovakian and made kolaches every year around Christmas.  My mom has the recipe some where, used to make on the order of 12 dozen and if I remember called for ~5lbs of lard.  Thanks fo bringing up some good memories.

    That’d be a good recipe to find (and post)

    D@mn!  THAT's what they're supposed to look like!

    I'm in Indiana, but we have a couple Kolache Factories (chain restaurant) in town.  They're our go-to weekend lunch/breakfast; especially in the summer.  I typically gravitate toward the savory options, but if their fruit kolaches looked like these, I'd change my tune!

    What did your dough recipe look like, if you don't mind me asking?  I've been thinking about whipping up a batch of yeast roll dough and stuffing with ham, eggs, jalapeños, cheese, but haven't got around to it.  May need to repurpose part of the dough and add some good jam...

    You have a great plan!

    @jones2289 Here's the recipe I followed:

     https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cherry-and-cream-cheese-kolaches

    Changes:
    -Doubled the recipe
    -Used APF and BF (equal parts)
    - Added zest of 2 lemons to the dough
    -Butter 3/4 cup + lard 1/4 cup 
    - Each kolache was ~75g of dough
