Kolaches - Strawberry & Cream cheese | ASMR Baking | Recipe Video

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Time: Roughly 3 hours
Yield: 8 Kolaches

Ko-la-chees! These are a beautiful Czech pastry that has a lot of flexibility with toppings and flavours. Think brioche dough which is a buttery yellow dough with a layer of lemony cream cheese, topped with a homemade strawberry jam and finished off with a brown sugar crumble!

A bit time consuming but worth all the trouble!
