What’s in a kolache?

And where to find the best ones near Fort Worth, TX

Turkey is the talk of the town, but people still eat other meals during the week of Thanksgiving. We’re throwing it back to a Texas favorite: kolaches.

Kolaches, pigs-in-a-blanket, sausage rolls — breakfast by any other name would taste as good.

The Czech pastry has been in the Lone Star State since about the 1880s. Traditionally, a yeasty bread roll is filled with fruit or cheese, but the term has evolved into something more like a hot dog — a sausage-filled pastry actually called a klobasniki.

Before hitting the road this week, start your trip with one of these famous bakeries.

City Editor Kate, here. Kolaches can be found in almost any local donut shop — and everyone will say the best ones are at their neighborhood shop. My personal recommendation is Dale’s Donuts #9 at 4455 Camp Bowie Blvd. That Dale makes a mean morning meal.
