Posted by : Ruth Greenwald Filled Sweet Bread: Tejes Kolacs - dairy
Here's the recipe for tejes kolacs. This is one of those
handed down from generation-to-generation recipes. Both my
grandmothers made it, so the recipe is well over 100 years
old. I've revised it to fit my food processor, and have
also made changes to better fit our 90's diet, (originally
the recipe called for 1 stick of butter.) You can adapt
this to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet by using egg
substitute, low-fat sour cream or nonfat yogurt for the sour
cream, and 1 1/2 TB canola oil for the butter or margarine.
Tastes just as good.

1 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk or 1/8 cup egg substitute
1 tablespoon sour cream

to make dough soft, smooth and satiny but not sticky.
Process until dough turns around processor 15 times.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Shape into ball,
knead about 4-5 times, and place in lightly greased bowl,
turning to grease all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and
let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down dough. Roll out onto lightly floured surface
into the shape of a rectangle. Brush with melted butter.
