KOLACHE DOUGH

1 c. warm milk
3 1/2 c. flour
1 egg
1 pkg. dry yeast
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. salt
Filling: I use apricot, poppy seed, lemon, rasberry  and prune pastry filling from can.

In a cup, put 1/3 cup warm milk and 1 teaspoon sugar, stir. Add yeast and stir until dissolved. Let it stand and get bubbly.
Please flour in a large bowl. Make a depression in the middle. Add warm milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, salt and yeast mixture at once, mix and knead until smooth. Grease the dough ball, let rise again. Divide into 7 portions, roll out and cover with favorite filling.
 
Roll up; be sure to seal ends and place on cookie sheet with seam side down.
Put 2 to a cookie sheet, let rise 10 minutes. Brush tops lightly with melted butter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees. When golden brown remove from oven and place on paper towels to cool. Brush tops with butter while kolaches are still hot.
