What is a Kolach anyway?

One of my assignments this trip to Texas was to bring home kolache (kolache is the plural of kolach).

Now we come to what actual are kolache?  Thanks to Wikipedia, we know:

A Kolach is a type of pastry that holds a dollop of fruit, rimmed by a puffy pillow of supple dough. Originating as a semisweet wedding dessert from Central Europe, they have become popular in parts of the United States.

Well that is not totally the way it is used at least in this area of Texas.  Here it is also a savory pocket of the puffy pillow of supple dough.  WOW!!

And there are is a chain of stores in this area of Texas called the Kolache Factory.  The one in/near The Woodlands is in the back building of a shopping plaza.

They have at least 2 dozen SAVORY kolache as well as ten to twelve sweet varieties.

I also made out like a bandit when i had signed up with my email and got a buy 3 get/3 free coupon.  THEN there was the sign about google reviews... so there were three more free

So NOW, i have bought three and have SIX free!!  Then I bought a some more.  In all I took home a dozen sweet and a half dozen savory.

The problem is i did not take any photos except this one of sausage, cheese and jalapeno, hot polish sausage, and sausage and gravy.

So here's one from their website:
