Instructions
Place the warm water
salt
egg and 2 tablespoons butter in the pan of a bread machine. Add bread flour
and pour 1/4 cup sugar on the edge of the pan. Make a shallow hole in the flour and add the yeast. Close the lid
and set machine for the DOUGH cycle.
While the dough is mixing
combine the prunes
prune juice
1/4 cup sugar
cinnamon
cloves and lime juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil
then reduce heat to low
and simmer until prunes are soft and the sauce has thickened
about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and blend in a mixer or food processor until smooth.
When the bread machine signals the end of the dough cycle
transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 20 small egg-sized pieces. Cover with greased plastic wrap
and set aside for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl
mix together 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Stir in melted butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to make a crumbly streusel.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Shape the kolache dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press a shallow hole in the center of each one
and fill with prune filling. Top each of the kolaches with streusel. Let the kolaches rest until doubled in size
about 20 minutes.
Bake until the tops are lightly browned
14 to 16 minutes.
Editor's Note:
You may mix the dough in a stand mixer
if desired. Use the dough hook and mix on low speed for 12 to 15 minutes
or until the dough is well developed. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape the dough into a round. Place the dough in an oiled bowl
