kolaches

October 9th, 2008

You might not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes kolaches but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat kolaches or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within reason of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have just been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Kolaches (Czechoslovakia)

6 tablespoons lukewarm milk
2 packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup soft butter
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
4 cups all-purpose flour

Add yeast to milk and let stand several minutes to dissolve. Stir in salt and sugar. Put butter into a large bowl; add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk, beating very hard. Continue adding 1 whole egg and additional yolk, followed each time by hard beating. When all the eggs have been used, mix in yeast and then flour, beating hard. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place until double in size.

Pinch off pieces of dough the size of a large walnut. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet; cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Press a hollow in the center of each piece with fingers and fill the cavity with Prune Filling, jam or marmalade. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. When cool, sprinkle tops generously with sugar.

1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

When prunes are tender, drain; discard pits and chop prunes coarsely. Stir in sugar, butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Add more sugar if desired.
