How to Make Kolaches with Joy the Baker (Recipe, Method, Backstory)

Joy Wilson, better known as Joy the Baker, is a Texas resident, recipe developer, cookbook author, and lover of all things baking. We sat down with Wilson to get her take on one of her favorite Texas-inspired treats for the spring and summer seasons, raspberry and cream cheese kolaches. Kolaches made their way to Texas in the early 19th century with an influx of immigrants from the Czech Republic, and have since become as recognizable as Texan barbecue. These fluffy pastries typically cradle fruit, cheese, or even savory options like sausage in their center, and in Joy’s favorite recipe, you get the best of both worlds with lush raspberry jam and a cream cheese filling.
This recipe makes 20 kolaches and will satisfy a crowd. Wilson recommends serving the kolaches just out of the oven with hot coffee or a cold glass of milk, but you don’t need an excuse to enjoy them any time of day.
