preparation
1. Warm milk in saucepan over medium heat until milk begins to steam. Remove from heat and let cook to 110-1115F. Use a candy thermometer to check temperature.
2. Dissolve yeast in water; set aside until foamy.
3. Melt butter in microwave and let cool for about 5 minutes.
4. In a large bowl combine eggs, sugar, salt and butter with a whisk. Add milk and yeast to bowl. Gradually add 2 cups of flour at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine. Mix until dough begins to hold together. The dough will be very sticky. Don’t over mix, dough will be moist and light (It will not look like bread dough)

6. Lightly grease a 12 by 17 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Leaving dough in the bowl, pinch off 2″ balls of dough. Shape and arrange on baking pan.
7. If you want to fill the kolaches make an indention in center of the roll with your fingers. Cover and let rise for 30-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
