Blueberry Kolaches are made from a sweetened yeast dough and filled with a simple, fresh blueberry filling and a streusel topping. They are as tasty as they are pretty.

 
Kolaches are a sweet Czech breakfast pastry typically stuffed with cream cheese or fruit.
You don’t see kolaches much in these parts (South Carolina) but apparently they are very popular in Texas which is where The Pastry Queen, Rebecca Rather, has her bakery. This recipe is adapted from her recipe for Peach Kolaches in The Pastry Queen: Royally Good Recipes from the Texas Hill Country’s Rather Sweet Bakery & Cafe. I love this cookbook more and more with every recipe I try.
The dough gets made a day in advance and does its first rise in the refrigerator. All that’s left the next morning is the second rise.
 
But first the dough is divided into balls and a depression is made in the middle to hold the filling.

 
These sweet little buns can be filled with fruit or cream cheese. You could use peaches, strawberries, or pineapple. You can even go nontraditional and fill them with bacon or sausage, egg, and cheese.
 

But Blueberries are so beautiful. I couldn’t resist using them. I’m quite smitten with blueberries.
 
This Blueberry Kolaches recipe makes a huge tray of kolaches, but you won’t have trouble finding people to eat them.
