Kolache /k[invalid input: 'ɵ']ˈlɑːtʃi/ (also spelled kolace, kolach, or kolacky, from the Czech and Slovak plural koláče, sg. koláč) is a type of pastry that holds a dollop of fruit rimmed by a puffy pillow of supple dough.[1] Originating as a semisweet wedding dessert from Central Europe, they have become popular in parts of the United States. The word kolache (колаче) itself means 'a small cookie' in Macedonian.
Kolache celebrations
Several cities, including Prague, Oklahoma; Caldwell, Texas;[2] East Bernard, Texas, and St. Ludmila's Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids, IA, hold annual Kolache Festival celebrations.
Montgomery, Minnesota, claims to be the "Kolacky capital of the world"[3] and holds an annual festival known as Kolacky Days. Verdigre, Nebraska, stakes the same claim with their Kolache Days.[4] Prague, Nebraska, claims to be known as the home of the world's largest kolache. Both Caldwell & West, Texas, claim the title of "Kolache Capital" of the state.
Still other communities in the United States hold Czech-American festivals, where kolaches may be found.
It was the sweet chosen to represent the Czech Republic in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.
Also made with meats inside a closed roll. Usually bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, etc.
