Strawberry and Lemon Kolaches

Lightly grease 2 full sheet pans. Remove 2 sheets of dough from case, separate while frozen and place on counter. Let the dough thaw until pliable enough to cut through (5-10 minutes). Using a knife, divide sheet into 12 equal squares (16 for white dough). For round kolaches, use a biscuit cutter. Place dough pieces 1-2 inches apart on prepared sheet pans. Brush with melted butter or spray with vegetable oil.  Place in proofer to rise until double. With back of spoon or finger-tips, make 1-inch indentations in the middle of each circle. Fill each with 2 teaspoons lemon curd or jam. Bake in a preheated 325-degree convection oven for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and brush with additional melted butter if desired. Let cool. Once cooled, top filling with berries (approximately 2 tablespoons per Kolache).
