Funny the things you can find after so many yrs of loving & craving Czech kolaches. I was raised on them, but this kolache variation sounds wonderful to me & is so easy to make. This may well become my NEW favorite kolache. (Yield depends on size of tart made & has been roughly estimated . Time does not include time to chill the dough. Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese (well-drained) |
1 cup butter |
2 cups bread flour |
12 teaspoons strawberry preserves (or as required) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Cream butter till fluffy. Add cottage cheese & blend VERY well.
3. Work in flour & chill dough thoroughly.
4. Roll on lightly floured surface into thin sheets & cut into squares.
5. On ea square of dough, place 1 teaspoon of strawberry preserves. Fold over to make a triangle & press edges together w/tines of a fork.
6. Place on baking sheet, bake for 15 min & serve warm.
7. NOTE: Altho strawberry preserves are used in this recipe, more typically Czech fillings are suggested as well & include: prune, apricot or date-nut.
