[[File:Kolach.jpg|thumb|Making kolaches]]
A '''kolach''',{{refn|{{Dictionary.com|access-date=22 January 2016|kolacky}}}} from the [[Czech language|Czech]] and [[Slovak language|Slovak]] '''koláč''' (plural '''koláče''', diminutive '''koláčky''', meaning "cake/pie"), is a type of sweet pastry that holds a portion of fruit surrounded by puffy yeast dough. Common filling flavors include [[Tvorog|tvaroh]] (a type of [[cottage cheese]]), fruit jam, poppy seeds, or [[Powidl|povidla]] (prune jam). In the United States, the word ''kolache'' is sometimes used as the singular rather than as the plural, and the letter "s" is often added to the end of the word kolache to form "kolaches", which is a double plural.
