Ingredients
Dough
1 ¼cupslow-fat milk
2(.25 ounce) packagesactive dry yeast (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1tablespoongranulated sugar
3large egg yolks, at room temperature, plus 1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash, divided
4tablespoons(1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
¼cupcanola oil
2cupswhite whole-wheat flour
2cupsall-purpose flour
⅓cupconfectioners’ sugar
2teaspoonskosher salt
Zest of 1 lemon
⅓cuplard, melted and cooled to room temperature
Filling
1cuplow-fat milk
1cuppoppy seeds
2teaspoonsall-purpose flour
2teaspoonshoney
Directions
To prepare dough: Heat 1 1/4 cups milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming. Let cool until about 110°F. Stir in yeast and granulated sugar. Set aside until frothy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place egg yolks in a medium bowl. While whisking the yolks, gently stream in melted butter and oil.
Slowly add lard and mix until all the lard is incorporated and the dough no longer sticks to the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare filling: Mix milk, poppy seeds, flour, honey and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Use a knife to slice off walnut-size chunks. Flatten each with your palm, then fold the edges under to create a tight ball. Arrange the balls, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Cover with plastic wrap and let double in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Dust the bottom of a small spice jar (or other similar-size object) with flour and use it to press a large indentation into the middle of each koláče, leaving about a 1/4-inch lip. Brush with egg wash. Fill each indentation with the filling.
Bake the koláče until puffy and lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.
To make ahead
Freeze cooled koláče airtight for up to 1 month.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
