[Sca-cooks] Kalács

[Terry Decker]

Kolache or kolach, a Czech delicacy of fruit or cheese surrounded by a soft 
dough.  I've seen both closed and open kolache and the ubiquitous but not 
very authentic sausage roll.  Most, if not all, of the Slavic countries have 
a variant of the word, which derives from the Old Slavonic "kolo" (circle, 
wheel).  I failed to check Dembinska, so thanks for reminding me.  Makes me 
wonder if there might not be something in Meat Under the Saddle.

Dembińska, Food and Drink in Medieval Poland, has no recipe, but does
mention "koláče" three times, defines it as "Czech flat cakes", and in
one mention says "apple koláče".
