Kolachini

Today, my wife got a different craving, but somehow still related to donuts.  She decided today that she had to have a kolache, which in the donuting world is sausage or ham with cheese stuffed inside a roll or croissant.  It is interesting to note that traditional kolaches, as they originated in Czech society, do not contain meat.  They are only filled with fruit or cheese.  A "kolache" containing meat is actually called a klobasnik.  Klobasniky were actually created in the United States by Czech immigrants settling in Texas.  Moving on...for the purposes of this post, I will be referring to them as kolaches, but for all of my Czech readers, the different is duly noted.

So, my wife was craving a kolache; but once again, she had this craving on our drive home, so there were no shops open to get her one.  She came up with the bright idea to make them herself.  So, she got some hot dogs, bread, and cheese and made giant "pigs in a blanket."  This isn't actually a kolache, but it seemed to satisfy her.  The problem was that they came out of the oven very large and puffy.  So, she decided to "depuff" them by putting them in her panini machine and flattening them.  And just like that, she invented the kolachini!
