Kolaches are very popular in my area. They are rolls that are filled with different things. I find them sold at special kolache shops and at donut shops. But these are usually stuffed with sausage or sugary fruits. However, I found out that it is very easy to prepare kolaches at home, prepare them in a healthier way, and also freeze them for a quick and easy breakfast that my whole family likes.

Beyond serving them for breakfast, my kids also really like to have them around as snacks. They can eat them cold, or they can pop them in the mircowave for about 30 seconds for a hot snack.

Homemade Kolache Recipe

• Frozen roll dough or Biscuit Mix (You can buy low fat mix, and it is very inexpensive to make a bunch). If you use the mix, you may also need skim milk or whatever you need to make up biscuit dough.
• A cookie sheet. I like to line mine with baking parchment paper. You could also use foil for convenience. Or you can just use the plain cookie sheet and spray it with cooking spray.
• Filling. This is where you can get creative. I tend to use low fat hot dogs or turkey sausage. Sometimes I use cheese. You can also go another way and use something sweet. If you use hot dogs or sausage, slice it into 2 – 3 inch pieces.

You will have the best luck of your dough is about room temp. So if you used frozen dough, you will need to defrost it. Simply wrap your filling in the dough. Make little rolls around the filling and put them on the cookie sheet. Bake the dough according to package directions. Your filling will cook (or melt) as the dough bakes.

These are great served fresh, but they can be reheated in the microwave. I tend to make a big batch, leave some in the fridge, and freeze the rest. That way I have a prepared breakfast I just have to heat up. My whole family loves these, and they make a welcome treat after everybody is tired of cold cereal.

And this recipe is really cheap too. Frozen bread dough is inexpensive and biscuit mix is even cheaper! Turkey sausage isn’t expensive either as a source of protein. Plus, you may find yourself very popular as this is the type of breakfast that everybody actually likes.
