Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup your favorite jam or preserves
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tsp water (for egg wash)

    • Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Make the Dough: Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low until combined. Gradually add the gluten-free flour and salt, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • First Rise: Scrape the dough into a lightly greased bowl, turn it over to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has nearly doubled in size.
  • Shape the Kolache: Punch the dough down. Turn it out onto a well-floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Second Rise & Create Wells: Use your floured thumb or the back of a spoon to press a deep indentation into the center of each ball. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fill and Bake: Brush the outside rim of each kolache with the egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tsp water). Fill each indentation with about 2 teaspoons of jam. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Cool and Enjoy! Let the kolache cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
