The Czech kolache is a soft butter-and-yeast pastry round with a filled well in the center, traditionally loaded with apricot jam, poppy seed paste, or sweet cottage cheese. Omaha's Czech-heritage bakeries still make them daily, with the Lithuanian Bakery on South 33rd Avenue producing the most traditional version in the city.
