Healthy Sourdough Discard Kolaches: A Delightful Twist on a Classic Pastry

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 1 cup whole grain spelt flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose einkorn flour, whole grain spelt flour, and sea salt. Add the milk, unsalted butter, white sugar, egg, egg yolk, and active sourdough starter. Mix the ingredients until a smooth dough forms.

2. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, white sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla essence, a pinch of salt, and a touch of fresh lemon juice until the filling is smooth and creamy.

4. Gently roll the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly. Use your fingers to create a well in the center of each ball, then fill the wells with the cream cheese mixture.

5. In a small bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, white sugar, and chilled, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this topping over the filled kolaches.

6. Let the filled kolaches rise for another 20-30 minutes before baking.

7. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the kolaches for 18-22 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden in color.

8. Allow the Healthy Sourdough Discard Kolaches to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To ensure your Healthy Sourdough Discard Kolaches turn out flawless, keep these tips in mind:

Avoid over-kneading the dough, as this can result in a tough texture.

Make sure the dough has doubled in size during the first rise to achieve the desired light and airy texture.

Don’t overfill the kolaches, as this can cause the filling to spill out during baking.

Store any leftover kolaches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
