The dough for these Moravian kolaches is made without adding yeast. Instead of yeast, we add baking soda.

Mix flour, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and baking soda to form a smooth dough, then refrigerate for half an hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out circles with a glass.

Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Using the bottom of a small glass, press the center of each circle to make a well, then fill it with jam, cottage cheese, and poppy seeds.

Mix cottage cheese with vanilla sugar. Pour hot milk over poppy seeds to make a thick paste.

Bake the finished Moravian kolaches for 30 minutes at 180°C.
