Directions:Mix dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and knead until satiny. Let rise until light, about one hour. Roll one third of dough into square about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares, stretching them a little in each direction. Put 1 rounded tsp of filling onto each square. Bring opposite corners together over the top and pinch together. Place on greased pan and butter lightly. Let rise in a warm place until doubled. Bake 350 for 15 minutes or until doubled in bulk. For open-faced kolaches, roll dough into walnut size balls, letting rise until light. Make a depression in the middle of each, leaving a very narrow edge around. Place filling in depression. Bake immediately at 350 for 15 minutes
