Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 units Large eggs
- 12 links Sausages
- 1 unit Egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon Water for egg wash
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot to the touch. Remove from heat.
Whisk the eggs into the milk mixture until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Mix until a rough dough forms, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly, and place a sausage link in the center of each.
Wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams to seal and shape it into a log.
Place the kolaches seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover with a towel and let them rest for about 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with the water to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the kolaches with the egg wash to ensure they bake to a shiny golden brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the kolaches are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
