Kolache thread

[Anonymous No.4998305]

Does anyone outside of central Texas eat these? They originate from the Czech Republic and there they are called klobasniky, but here they are called kolaches (which in the CR is a similar pastry but with fruit filling). Apparently they only put sausage in theirs but here they're filled with any kind of savory filling you can think of, and, being Texas, usually jalapenos, too. They're also the most delicious thing you'll ever eat, but for some reason I've only seen them in Texas and people from other parts of the country seem pretty ignorant of their existence. So, are you familiar with these? What's your favorite kind?

I want the sausage, jalapeño and cheese one. :3

What's the bread part like? It sort of looks like a dinner roll from the pics. I'd think something buttery and flaky would be great with all that cheese and sausage.

Also, yeah, sausage, jalapeño, and cheese looks pretty fuckin' choice.

differs from place to place. Pic is from KripsyKreme, which I've never been to, but that bread looks more dinner roll-like than most. Usually the bread is always buttery and sweet, sometimes spongy sometimes flaky sometimes doughy. It's almost always a breakfast food. I've never seen a pizza filled kolache, but I've heard they exist. Most common non-breakfast types are BBQ related.

Well central Texas had a large German and Czech immigration in the 1800s, and that heritage is pretty strong in that part of the state. I have a Polish friend that works in a Polish bakery in the northeast part of the country and they told me about kolaches being a fruit filled pastry, different from what we have here in Texas. Further research led me to the klobasnek, which says is traditionally only filled with sausage. Since our immigrant population is from over 100 years ago, maybe the klobasnek isn't really a thing anymore. Maybe the kolache itself has left the Czech Republic, but my Polish friend definitely seemed to know about them.

Regardless, if you can find some try them. Good eats.

we have here tons of filled pastry and food, from pastry to various dumplings (which are differently from american ones i imagine), potato dumplings filled with meat or fruit dumplings (pic related).

other pastry like https://www.google.cz/search?q=kol%C3%A1%C4%8De&client=firefox-a&hs=YwG&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=746gUuSeM-GG4AT9kYD4Bg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=779&bih=705 is pretty typical, but there's lots of different types.

the bread pastry (not sweet) that's in your OP looks great though.

[Anonymous No.4998445]

OP, are you kidding? All the Plains states know about these, because of the Czech population.

Are you from Waco or West, anon? West Virginia has pepperoni rolls that are delicious (why don't we have those here?), but I've never seen them elsewhere

[Texas No.4998489]

I'm also from Central Texas but I've been all over the U.S. and have never seen Kolaches anywhere else.

The bread tends to be soft and sweet sometimes buttery. Kolaches are often sold at bakeries or places that make doughnuts.

Pic related: they're on the top rack.

Houston reporting here.

Shipley's makes the best jalape?o, cheese and sausage. Sometimes, depends on the store.
If you ever find yourself driving around Houston, the Interstate 10 @ Kirkwood Shipley's has the best kolaches in town, hands down. No fucking contest.

Kolache Factory is mediocre, all of their sausage or egg kolaches are shit.

Krispy Kreme is shit.

Little local stores can be hit or miss.
The Viet owned ones are pretty good most of the time.

[Anonymous No.4998542]

I grew up and lived in Central Texas for most of my life, and now have lived in several other states, and I've never run across kolaches anywhere besides where I grew up. I got so homesick for them I had to learn to make them myself. My favorites were always poppyseed, apricot, and sausage, of course. I'll probably make some for Christmas this year, because it's a perfect time for that. Man, I miss the food where I grew up.....

OP here. I'm from Houston. Not exactly central Texas but we still have kolaches all over the place here. I referred to central Texas since that seems to be the cultural epicenter for Czechs and kolaches

[Anonymous No.4999310]

I've lived in Russia a couple times and they have rolls similar to these called Кулебяки, except the fillings are less American as you'd expect: they have sliced apple ones, cabbage and meat, just cabbage, just cheese sometimes, stuff like that. Pretty tasty and cheap at most street kiosks

I wish American cities had more street vendors. We're seeing a big rise in food trucks and that's cool at least.

It wigs me out that this is a semi-regional thing. I work with a couple of kids from out of state and none of them knew what a kolache was when they moved here.

They are still called klobasek at the place I go to.
Here is their menu, http://www.duffeyskolachebakery.com/menu.htm . You can get them practically at any donut shop in Texas. I'm going to get like a dozen tomorrow for breakfast after reading through this thread. Thanks OP for reminding me its been to long since I've eaten a couple of these delicious sons of bitches.

[Anonymous No.4999613]

>>4999603
See, I've never actually seen them referred to as klobasek out in the world, only in researching them. I don't get up to that area too often, so I'm not familiar with that baker, but I'll have to check it out next time I'm out there because it looks great from the pictures!

i live in LA and they used to give these for breakfast
at my school with only a sausage in em.

Born and raised in Texas. My dad gets these all the time. He gets the legit ones from Kolache Factory too. I think they are fucking awful. The sausage ones and the egg ones. Awful. I dont get it.

But I didnt realize these were so unheard of. Interesting.

I live just outside of Austin and we actually just had these for breakfast. I had the usually jalapeño and cheese sausage type. I love these and the best I've ever had have come from Fredericksburg back when I lived in Johnson City we would make trips there sometimes to Christmas shops and we always got them from some bakery there.

I've lived in Texas forever and didn't even realize they didn't sell kolaches everywhere. I though they were like corn dogs or burritos, everyone eats them. Houston now, formerly farther southeast texas. Those things are everywhere here, even most gas stations. And fuck donuts, pleb tier breakfast. Give me a jalapeno cheese sausage kolache or give me some breakfast burritos or migas.

My grandpa is the son of Czech immigrants, raised in an ethnic Czech area of Iowa. He loves kolaches to death. He was in heaven when he moved to the Texas Hill Country (Wimberley, specifically). He got a piece of his childhood back. We always get em during the holidays.

A town near me has Kolache Days. They are all made in the local church and sold by the plastic bag full. I only ever saw fruit fillings- apple, raspberry, prune, etc.

because they are actually from south Germany where some dude used to bake left over dough wrapped over the wurst so it doesn't loose all the delicious fat dropping from the wurst. well and to avoid exploding wurst. later some gay fag added the cheese and different ingredients.
