They are a soft sweet dough bun with various fillings such as cream cheese, prune, apple, etc. Or savory fillings such as my favorite which is ham, colby cheese and jalapeno. They are frickin awesome and make a damn good breakfast. A couple months ago I discovered kolaches when one of my coworkers brought in some to work. Since then I make sure she brings in some more at least once a month.

I don't know what their stuff is called, but it's pretty gd good! Check that, what I've had is various types of fatayer. http://www.golden-bakery.com/our-products.html "I love Anne Hathaway and her penchant for nudity." -The Dawg of Metal

The closest thing I have found to them is the Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls as far as the bun or roll itself. Of course Kings Hawaiian is not nearly as buttery,warm, and soft. Trust me these are 10 times better then any Chinese bun I have ever tried. Pittsburgh Eats

That's a lot. Most Chinese buns I have had are spongy and the bread itself is lacking in flavor. Plus they are steamed which means you usually dont get the nice browned outer crust. Now I am sure their are some good buns out there, but I havent found one yet that holds a candle to a kolache. Pittsburgh Eats

Of course we we may have accidently sample a few. Our job was to put the filling in the middle. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/304725524/worlds-of-magic-a-new-classic-4x-fantasy-game/widget/card.html" width="220">

I think my wife got Czech-ed out back at the home front. Too many Sunday mornings listening to Joe's Polka Show, etc.... I'll have to ask her if she's recovered from all that yet.

This one is close to my area. http://nebraskaczechsofwilber.com/ Not only good kolaches, but excellent meats and sausages.
