Interesting Facts

  • Kolache is a traditional Slovak pastry that is often served during holidays and special occasions.
  • The pastry is typically filled with fruit, cheese, or nuts.
  • The nut roll version of kolache is made with a sweet yeast dough and a filling made of ground nuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Kolache became popular in the United States in the late 1800s, when Slovak immigrants brought the recipe with them.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 cup ground walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar, melted butter, and beaten eggs to the bowl and mix well.
