Austria day 1

Guten Morgen! Good Morning!
I want to share my Fruhstuck (breakfast) with you. You can pick this up at a cafe with your morning coffee. You will find it by name of Golatsche or Kolatsche and the look of it varies. I made mine simple like a thumbprint, but it is often folded over the filling or made in a square with the corners all brought up and pinched in the center.

Kolatsche
In your bread machine put 1 cup lukewarm milk, 2.5 tsp yeast(or 1 pkt), 1/4 cup sugar and let sit 5 minutes to get the yeast going.
Then add 1 egg, 1/4 cup softened butter and 3 1/2 cups of bread flour. 1/2 tsp salt if desired. I exclude salt from all of my recipes due to low sodium diet. Turn on bread cycle and go relax with a cup of coffee. When its done it will look like this.

When that is done flour your surface and roll it out to about 1 inch thickness and then cut out with round cutter

 place on parchment lined pans and lightly brush w melted butter and leave to rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

 

Take a spoon and press a dimple into the center of each pastry.



 

Fill with Solo filling, your own jams or marmalades will work as well.
Bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden. Then drizzle with simple icing.
To make Simple icing pour 2 cups of confectioner sugar into a bowl and slowly add milk until the consistency you can drizzle with control.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!



 

Tonight we are making Wiener Schnitzel and Austrian style potato salad like my husband's Mutti makes.
