Sausage Kolaches (Shipley's Copycat)
made with Fresh Milled Flour
by Wheat Berries & Butter
These Kolaches were written as a copycat recipe of Shipley's Kolaches. They are a great protein packed breakfast!
Serving size: 16 kolaches (or 1 loaf of sandwich bread, and 8 kolaches)
Bake: 30 minutes
​
Ingredients for dough:
1.5 cups water
1 egg
1/3 cup avocado oil
1/3 cup honey
630 grams (4.5 cups) whole wheat flour (I used fresh-milled hard white wheat)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp vital wheat gluten
4 tsp yeast
​
Ingredients for Kolaches:
16 Earl Campbell's Sausages (or 8 cut in half, long ways)
8 American cheese slices (I know, I am sorry, LOL)
​
Directions to make the dough:
-
In order to make the process quick, mix the flour and liquids to start the autolyse.
-
Dump all of the remaining ingredients on top and let that sit without mixing for 20-30 minutes. That leaves a few minutes for clean up and buttering the bread pans (8.5" to 4.5").
-
After the 20-30 minutes autolyse, knead well, until the dough is at a windowpane.
​
Directions to make the kolaches:
-
Rest for about an hour or until dough is soft.
-
Divide dough into 16 pieces.
-
Roll a piece of dough into a rectangle, lay half of a cheese slice and a sausage on the dough, and wrap the dough to close.
-
Allow the dough to rise about 30 minutes in a warm place.
-
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until tops begin to brown.
-
Serve hot.
