The fluffiest yeast kolaches with quark, poppy seeds and fruit are among classic homemade pastries that delight with their moistness and rich filling. If you’re in the mood for more favorite yeast desserts, try the tried-and-true propadávaná cake with pudding, peaches and cream or the delicious Dalmantin cake with chocolate cream and whipped cream, which, like these yeast rolls, impress with the combination of dough and a rich filling. Try baking them for Sunday coffee or family celebrations.

For 9 portions

Ingredients

Yeast dough:

Quark filling:

Poppy-seed filling:

Fruit and jam:

Streusel:

For brushing after baking:

Preparation procedure

  • Crumble the yeast into a portion of the lukewarm milk, add a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of flour. Stir and let rise for 10–15 minutes until foam forms.
  • Put the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, egg yolks and lemon zest into a bowl. Add the sponge and the rest of the milk. Gradually work in the melted cooled butter and knead a smooth, soft dough. Knead for about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in a stand mixer. Cover and let rise for about 40 minutes.
  • Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 parts and each into 3 smaller pieces, making approximately 18 rolls in total. Shape into smooth rounds, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 20 minutes.
  • Use the bottom of a glass or cup to press an indentation into the center of each roll. Fill with the quark and poppy-seed fillings, add pieces of fruit or jam. Sprinkle with the streusel.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 18–22 minutes, until the rolls are nicely golden.
  • While still hot, brush the rolls with the melted butter mixed with rum. Let cool on a wire rack.

Total preparation time

Approximately 2 hours (including rising)

Number of servings

Tips for best results

  • The dough is intentionally softer, do not add extra flour

  • Let the poppy-seed filling cool before filling

  • Dry juicy fruit beforehand or lightly sprinkle the indentation with breadcrumbs

  • The rolls are best on the day of baking, but remain moist even the next day
