kolache

Filled breakfast pastry

A kolache is a Czech pastry—a round, soft roll with a depression in the center holding a sweet filling such as fruit, poppy seed, or sweetened cheese.

In Texas, where Czech immigrants settled, kolaches became a regional staple, and the term often extends to savory versions filled with sausage: We stopped at the bakery for kolaches on the way to Austin.
