Jalapeno Honey Cream Cheese Kolache.

Ingredients:

Steps:

DAY PRIOR TO SERVICE:

  1. Make the jalapeno honey cream cheese filling.

DAY OF SERVICE:

  1. Place thawed kolache dough in proofer.
  2. Allow dough to rise 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
  3. Remove the risen dough from proofer. Using the bottom of a ¼ cup dry measuring cup, press a deep indentation in the center of each dough.
  4. If the indentation is too shallow, the fillings will spill out as they bake.

    If the cup is sticking, lightly spray the bottom of the cup with cooking spray.

  5. Using a #30 scoop, add the jalapeno honey cream cheese filling to the center of each dough.
  6. Bake at 325°F for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Cook to 135°F or higher.

    The center kolaches will take longer to bake. Test the center of kolaches to ensure well-done before removing from the oven.

  8. Remove kolaches from oven and sprinkle with sumac. Hold in warming cabinets until service.
  9. Kolaches can be held through out service.
