Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 items Large egg
• 12 small links Smoked sausages or kielbasa
• 1 item Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Stir together to mix evenly.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (110-115°F).

Step 3

Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 4

Add eggs to the mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Slowly incorporate the remaining flour (about 2 cups) until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it slightly into a circle.

Step 10

Place one sausage link in the center of each dough circle, then fold and pinch the edges to seal completely, forming a small, enclosed roll.

Step 11

Arrange the kolaches seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each kolache with the mixture.

Step 13

Bake the kolaches in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
