Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 2 tbsp Tapioca Starch
  • 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast
  • 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk, warm
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

For the Filling

  • 8 Fully Cooked Gluten Free Sausage Links
  • 4 slices Cheddar Cheese, halved
  • 2 Pickled Jalapeno Peppers, sliced (optional)

For the Topping

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • Flaky Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the warm milk, eggs, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. With well-oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into an oval shape about 1/2 inch thick and roughly 4 inches long.
  • Place a sausage link and a half slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each oval. If using jalapenos, add a few slices on top of the cheese. Wrap the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams together on the underside.
    Place each kolache seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Cover the kolaches loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 to 40 minutes, until noticeably puffy.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the kolaches for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown on top and the dough is cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
