Filling
2, #10 cansdiced pears in light syrup
1 ½ tablespoonsvanilla extract
2 cupsgranulated sugar
¼ cupground ginger

2 teaspoonsground allspice
Streusel Topping
4 ½ cupsall-purpose flour

On a lightly greased half sheet pan, place thawed rolls 4 across and 6 down. Place rolls evenly spaced. Spray roll dough with pan release or brush lightly with olive oil. Place in proofer to rise until double in size (60-90 minutes).

While dough is rising, prepare filling. Drain the canned pears and place them in a large mixing bowl with the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Sprinkle the sugar-spice mix over the diced pear and stir to combine.

Remove proofed dough from proofer. Using the bottom of a greased ¼ cup dry measuring cup, press a deep indentation in the center of each roll. Using a #16 scoop (2 oz.), add filling to the center of each dough. For streusel topping, mix all ingredients well and sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each kolache. Bake in a preheated 325-degree convection oven for 20 -25 minutes. Remove kolaches from oven and hold in warming cabinets until service.
