Kolaches - Amazing & Easy! - Paperback

by Dorothy Palmer (Author)

If you enjoy baking, you must have this book. For those living in the Texas "Czech Belt", kolaches are a part of everyday life. This sweet yeast bread filled with fruit or cheese was brought to the U.S. with Czech immigrants, in the mid-1800s. A "kolache", for those who have never been blessed with a sampling of the pastry, is a type of pastry that holds a dollop of fruit rimmed by a puffy pillow of supple dough. This step-by-step guide, complete with pictures and online videos, will allow even the most timid baker the opportunity to make this old world classic easily and perfect every time. Links to my complete instructional YouTube videos included!
