Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 links vegetarian sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the milk and heat until warm to the touch (about 110°F), then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, the sugar, yeast, and salt.
Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading to form a smooth and elastic dough (about 6-8 minutes).
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the vegetarian sausages until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal parts.
Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Place a sausage link in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough over the sausage, pinching the edges tightly to seal.
Place the kolaches seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover and let them rise for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, beat together the remaining egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the risen kolaches with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the kolaches to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
