How to Make Sausage And Cheese Kolaches
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), yeast (2 1/4 tsp), and sugar (1 tbsp). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour (5 cups), salt (1 tsp), and shortening (1 cup).
- Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Brown sausage (1 lb) in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese (2 cups), and optionally, some chopped onions (1/2 cup) or bell peppers (1/2 cup).
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a 3-inch cookie cutter or glass, cut out circles of dough.
- Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese filling in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
- Place the kolaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
