HOUSTON HAM AND CHEESE KOLACHES

This recipe is not EXACTLY like they have around here, but I am working on it. This will give you a really good idea of what we bring home from a donut shop in and around Houston. These breakfast treats come from the Czech immigrants who settled the Texas Hill Country (between Houston and Austin and around Austin), and frequently come in a fruit type (dimpled and filled, like a danish) that is also available up North, and meat (which apparently doesn't exist anywhere else but around here in Texas). Ham and cheese has always been one of my favorites. The amount of flour you use will greatly depend on whether you are making this in or around Houston right before or after a rainstorm, as I always seem to; or if you are making it someplace with a normal, low level of humidity. Start the sponge the night before.

Steps:

  • SPONGE: Mix together yeast and 2 cups of flour. Add the rest of the sponge ingredients. Mix with spoon until thoroughly combined and then put in your refrigerator overnight. (this time is not in the cook time).
  • The next morning, stir the sponge lightly and add the salt. Begin adding flour until it forms into a dough ball. If there is little humidity, this could be as little as one cup. If you are here in Houston, I usually end up putting in a couple and then kneading another half cup.
  • Once you have a doughball, Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface, adding flour as needed. The dough should be very easy to knead, fairly loose.
  • Place kneaded dough into a bowl, lightly oiled and turn dough so that it is covered with oil. Let it rise until doubled in size, about an hour. Meanwhile, mix together ham and cheese.
  • Punch down dough.
  • Divide into 32 small balls (divide in half, then divide in half again, and again, etc.). Take each ball and flatten with your hand to a 3" circle. Place one tablespoon ham and cheese mixture into the center of each circle and close into a ball, twisting the opening closed. Make sure the opening is well sealed, or the kolaches will burst open in the oven.
  • Place filled balls seam side down onto greased cookie sheets (I use 2). Cover and let rise again for half an hour. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush kolaches with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden colored. You don't want these to get brown, or they will be too dry. Just golden, like biscuits or dinner rolls.
  • Baked kolaches can be frozen, thawed, and reheated in the microwave.

  • “All-In” Crawfish, Casian Crawfish. The emblematic Viet-Cajun dish of the new Houston: spicy, citrusy, garlicky, and utterly addictive. Paula Murphy.
  • Barbacoa, Hugo's. Rich, flavorful slow-roasted lamb at the flagship of Hugo Ortega and Tracy Vaught's modern-Mexican empire. Scott Moore.
  • Pastrami Beef Rib, Tejas Chocolate Craftory. Thursday is Pastrami Day at Tejas, but any day is a good day for elite craft barbecue alongside high-end homemade chocolate bonbons.
  • Smoked Oxtails, Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack. Ray's serves classic East Texas barbecue, porkier and saucier than its Central Texan cousin: fat spare ribs, ricey links of boudin, and, as a weekly special, these gamy, gelatinous beauties.
  • Paris-Brest, Theodore Rex. Everything on Justin Yu's ever changing menu is precise and soulful, but this simple dessert, funkified by Swiss-cheese cream and honey, is what I've craved since I tried it.
  • Brisket Taco, The Pit Room. The Pit Room's brisket shines brightest (and smokiest) topped with cheese, sour cream, and salsa roja on a chewy homemade tortilla made with beef fat.
  • Smothered Turkey Wings, Alfreda's Soul Food. There's nearly as much meat in the vegetables as there is in the meat dishes at this venerable cafeteria—which is how you know it's legit.
  • Clam Rapini Pizza, Coltivare. A touch of sorghum in the dough complements the brine of clams at Morgan Weber and Ryan Pera's regional-Italian spot. > "Where to Eat and Drink in Houston, the New Capital of Southern Cool"
