Blueberry Kolaches Recipes

BLUEBERRY KOLACHES

Steps:

• 1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• 2. FOR THE DOUGH: Combine milk, butter and eggs together in measuring cup (will be lumpy).
• 3. Combine dry ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer, then add milk mixture and mix for 2 minutes on low speed. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 8 to 12 minutes until dough no longer sticks to side of mixing bowl.
• 4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and let rise in warm place for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight in a covered bowl.
• 5. FOR THE FILLING: Combine frozen berries, sugar and cornstarch in a microwave safe bowl and mix well. Microwave on high for about 6 to 8 minutes and stir halfway through cooking.
• 6. FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING (if using): Combine the flour, sugar and butter with your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• 7. TO PREPARE THE KOLACHES: Divide dough into 16 equal size portions and form balls. Place dough balls on prepared baking pans, cover with plastic and allow to rest in warm place for 1.5 hours.
• 8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour the bottom of a 1/3 cup measuring cup
• 9. Place the greased measuring cup on top of each dough ball, and press down to make an indentation in each dough ball. Fill each indentation with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the blueberry filling.
• 10. Mix together the egg and milk, and brush top of each of the Kolaches with the egg wash.
• 11. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (do not over bake - they should be a little pale in color), and let cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
