My mom made these often with apricot jam or cherry pie filling when I was a child growing up in Nebraska. She put an icing glaze on them. For some reason, I thought they were German. Sometimes, we would have breakfast at church on Sunday to raise money for school activities, etc. She would make hundreds of them for breakfast or bake sale. Oh, she made runzas, too! Great memories stirring! Thanks

A lot of Slavic stuff gets mistaken for German/Austrian stuff. That's imperialism/colonialism for ya. (Though the influences of course went both ways.)

Oh these look delicious. I also wanted to say thank you for continuing to keep the printed blog post. It’s my primary source of menu ideas.

I absolutely love your recipes and the way you talk chef😊. With lots of respect from South Africa

In Finland, I make something similar, but to make the well, I press down with a glass tumbler of appropriate size.

As a lifetime Texan, kolaches bring me many many memories of sleepy mornings, any weather, being handed a sausage and cheese kolache (locally known term for both salty and sweet, but every place uses a different bread in my experience) and slowly waking up. The pastry part should be buttery and not dry (looking at you, Shipley's) and as I like a classic sausage and cheese, it should leave no gaps, fill it up! How many times have I had a kolache before exploring the town, before a field trip, before sad events like hospital visits just to get something filling on the stomach, as an apology for something the day before, as an offering to a hungry sports team, or as an offering to an office of disgruntled workers 😂 For every meal in life, kolaches have been there and always will be. Very rarely will I turn down this hearty dish. Ever since humanity made bread, we've filled it with things we like, and that's beautiful!! ❤ I love getting to bond with people across cultures over food, there's nothing quite like it. Thanks Chef John for sharing this with us today❤

Chef Johns "funny" voice is how I relax after a stressful day. Love Chef John!

According to many sources and a few Czech/Texan friends, a kolache is sweet. Savory "kolaches" are called klobasnek. But I freely admit that most Texans like me (a native Texan) call anything that looks more or less like a kolache a kolache. Cheers!

Czech guy here. We use the word koláč in similar way but it can be for sure savory. For example Czech does not have word for pie so apple pie is jablečný koláč. It kind of has the shape. The "thing" in the video is koláč for sure. Never heard of klobasneks/klobásníky before but I am from west part of the country and apparently they are a thing in north-east. Originally they seems to be kind of sausage roll/ball with meat filling so the name makes perfect sense. We would not call them koláče. That would be weird... 😁

Chef John is an international treasure.

When I was in college and living in Houston many many years ago I worked nights for a period. I have very fond memories of going to a hole in the wall bakery on my way home for sausage kolaches coming fresh out of the oven. As you said, the bun looked like roll and tasted slightly sweet. The interior had a large cavity created by the steam coming from the little sausage (think lil smokies) baked inside. I will have to try your version.

A little history: The word Golatsche (or Kolatsche) is of Slavic origin. A literature review shows that the term "Golatsche", which can be defined as "filled cake, round or square", is derived from the Czech word koláč 'cake' (cf. Ammon 1995: 179). The Golatsche is of Old Slavic origin and used to play an important role in wedding ceremonies. In contrast to the Polish and Czech versions, the Austrian Golatsche is closed with dough on top, which is why it is also referred to as "Tascherl" in colloquial language. The Golatsche was first mentioned on Austrian territory in the so-called Pomegranate Cookbook of 1687 in the recipe "The Good Bohemian Golatschen" From Vienna, the pastry was spread to Denmark, where it is known as Wienerbröd (cf. Kolatsche). Beyond history: The recipe shown here is sure to taste delicious! 😉

my mom and grandmother used to make Kolache, but very different - it was always in the form of a loaf - roll out the dough and spread the filling on (could be a nut/butter base, poppy or lekvar - and then just rolled onto itself like you would when making cinnamon rolls, but then just baked as an entire loaf and just slice off as you eat it - with maybe a little bit of butter or dipped in coffee/ milk.

I can eat neither sausage nor sausage gravy, but I always watch Chef John videos. Its very soothing

Chef John is an international treasure.. Chef John is an international treasure..

I just love how you do these videos. I get a laugh and a great recipe 😋

My grandma made sweet kolaches with prune, apricot, and poppyseed filling with a sprinkle of coconut on top. The dough was also not a yeast dough, but flour, egg, cream cheese which made a flaky pastry type dough, instead of risen. Thanks for the memory!

Oh I'm totally making these! Every Christmas I make a "breakfast" casserole for the family and of course I make sure it's super tasty and pay no attention to calories or whatever... It's Christmas! Eat because it tastes good. You can be better after New Years. I think this might be my new brunch thing. It needs an egg and some bacon... Maybe crumbled bacon on top and a sunny side up egg(s) on the side

for sausage gravy, add black coffee! it adds brown flavor, and acid! both perfect additions!

My Dad would have loved this. I’m just sorry he’s no longer with us to enjoy it😥RIP Dad, I miss you so much. I’ll still make it and enjoy them in your memory.

The Czech Texans don't call klobasnek Kolaches, Houston people do and they are wrong. We, the real kolache makers, have always called the kolaches kolaches and klobasnek klobaniky. Sometimes pigs in a blanket. But you're probably from Houston or Dallas. There is a path of forgiveness, but you will have to search it out. It's like people asking for a chicken fajita.

TexMex is a bastardization of many cultures. Mexican food is an amalgamation of indigenous and Spanish... and Texan kolaches are not Czech-Texan kolaches, which are themselves not even Czech kolaches!

Forward thinking tips like using the left over butter and egg for later steps is my favorite part of consuming recipes in video form vs written. It's the little things that go a long way when planning things out in advance. Thanks for including those.

Just a side note if Chef John is reading these. Beaver PA has a restaurant called Cafe Kolache. They serve kolaches...crazy I know!

I like the way you talk chef John. It's fun.

As a Texan with Czech relatives, I approve, sir! 🎉 and also sausage gravy and biscuits is one of my favorite all time meals. Recently had a waffle of biscuits with sausage gravy “syrup”.

Some of the best Kolaches I've ever had were at a place in New Iberia LA. I think it was called Meche's. They also had fantastic doughnuts, but the boudin kolaches were incredible

I grew up in a Czech community in Kansas. Kolaches are a big deal there. The county fair annual winner for Kolaches took to me and shared her recipes before she passed on. They are great, but all are the sweet types, (and of course, cottage cheese {ugh}). This will be so great to add to my portfolio - Thanks so much Chef John.

We used to make a very simple version with homemade goat cottage cheese, chives, honey and cinnamon which the 4 kids all loved. Sometimes I used a poppy seed filling. Their father was Hungarian.

You can definitely get kolaches in states besides Texas, and I know this as someone from Alabama who’s lucky enough to have a few Buc-ee’s locations (which used to be a Texas-only staple,) closest of which is 45 minutes away. You can get all kinds of kolaches at Buc-ee’s, both sweet and savory, but unfortunately I haven’t had the pleasure of trying one yet. But I do vow to try one the next time I’m at a Buc-ee’s! PS: Buc-ee’s has the nicest bathrooms out of any service station I’ve ever been to :)

Texan who is a big fan of savory kolaches and a big fan of bisquits & gravy. I bet your kolache is delicious. Locally, my personal favorites are kolaches stuffed with jalapeno cheese sausage as the spice improves something already delicious.

As a Texan, I approve this message. 😊❤What a great job you did on this fantastic looking twist on what we absolutely adore here in Texas. We can’t wait to try this filling on our next set of kolaches. I also appreciate that you know the difference between a kolache and a klobasnek! It’s why we love you, Chef John.
