Directions:
1. STREUSEL TOPPING for Fruit Kolaches (Posipka - Pusipani, sorry don't know how to spell Czech)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 sugar
(can use 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of white sugar)
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) melted butter, slightly softened and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Mix together well and sprinkle over fruit Kolaches.


2. FOR THE DOUGH:
After making the dough recipe or using Bridgeford Frozen Bread, available in the grocery store. Cut dough into Kolache size pieces place on and let rise on cookie sheet. After dough is risen, poke down the center of each dough piece and place a spoon of filling in the center of each. Then sprinkle on the streusel topping.


3. After dough is risen, poke the center of each dough piece and place a spoon of filling in the center of each. Then sprinkle on the streusel topping. Let rise slightly again. Mom & Grandma would always sprinkle each Kolache with melted butter so the dough would rise without cracking. Then cover with wax paper and put pan in a warm place to rise. When risen, bake 375º 20 – 25 minutes until brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle again with melted butter.

Personal Notes:
My Mom (Viola Sefcik Jost) gave me this recipe in 1975, while visiting us when we lived in Cucamonga, CA. It also duplicates the recipe my Grandmother Frances Ondrusek Sefcik gave to me when she baked at our home in San Angelo. I helped her and cleaned (mostly cleaned) when she visited us.
