I used my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook to mix. Turned out great.

Made these for the first time, making them again less than 48 h later. I was pleasantly surprized at the soft texture od the dough. As good as fried donuts.

I read all the reviews before trying this; maybe I did something wrong, but I found the dough too sticky and difficult to work with. I almost threw it all out, but I persevered to the end, wrapping the sticky blobs around little sausages. The end result did taste more like dinner rolls, even after upping the sugar to 1/3 cup. Not sure if I'll try it again.

These are a family favorite. I have made them MANY times. The key to consistency is to weigh the bread flour (and use King Arthur). By weight, use 1 pound 4 ounces of bread flour. Also, I increased the sugar to 1/3 cup to match the sweetness of the traditional ones served in Texas. Lastly, to make sure your fruit filling does not spill over, press firmly to bottom of baking pan when making your indentions. By pressing the dough to the pan, it will prevent the middle from rising. Also, make sure you make an indention about 1 inch in diameter (i.e., several thumb prints).

These were delicious! I made pumpkin and lemon and both were soo good. I rolled them into the size ball in the recipe, and it make 42! Next time I will put some colored sugar on the edges to give a little sweetness.

Delicious! Weighed dough with scale per kolache, for consistency. Used the bottom of a juice glass to flatten the dough, and then the back of a tablespoon for the impression (also consistency). As one rater suggested, I filled with pure fruit preserves; this did not work as the filling ran out and over the finished product, and stuck to the pan (did not affect the deliciousness:). Next time I will try pie filling. Can't wait!

Great recipe although i melted butter instead of softened and it was a bit goey but plop onto flour worked it in then it was perfect. i used high quality preserves for filling then made an additional batched and wrapped it around some beef polish sausage and hot dogs for kids delicious.

bread part wasn't as sweet as I expected but it was pillow-y goodness. I used homemade strawberry jam on half and cream cheese filling in the other. Kids loved them as did the DH.
