Kolache
Have you ever rolled into a town that
you have never been to before and change
their lives in a single day. This is not
the main goal of the company but it is
usually the outcome by the time our job
is done. Our main goal is to feed the
crowd or party, with a variety of pizza
flavors on one pizza pie. Our main goals
are to entertain people watching us do
our job, expand dreams of young mind by
letting them become involved, and we
give individuals an opportunity to be a
part of something that is bigger than
themselves. We are The Dirt Road Cookers
and were asked to attend the Kolache
Fest in Hallettsville, TX, they were
interested in our idea of larger pizzas
but they wanted a large kolache for
their festival. On the day of the event,
we showed up as strangers, as we set up
we noticed everyone was expecting us.
Starting my job off with a pizza; I had
gained the help of a few young
teenagers, the first being Hunter,
within the first few minutes. These kids
made the entire pizza without my help, I
couldn’t help but smile. These kids came
together as a team and made an eight
foot pizza for the town. After cooking,
handing out all the slices, and a few
interviews, we decided to start on their
kolache. This was defiantly team effort
between two companies. After about an
hour or two the dough was finally
stretched to size, and the topping went
on. This was the point when I started to
worry, the oven was at the perfect temp
but there was a storm cloud close by. As
soon as the kolache was put into the
oven it started to rain. As time went
by, knowing that the kolache that we
have studied, worked on, and waited for,
for so long was being destroyed in front
of us. The whole town watched in
silence, my heart dropped. After about
half the cooking time, somebody brought
out a canopy to cover and protect the
kolache from any more damage, it was put
up in just seconds, and the town
cheered. We were able to finish cooking
this monster of a pastry, I asked Kayla
if it was still edible, he showed no
response. It didn’t matter if it was
edible or not we had to pull it out of
the oven. The town came together some
carried the six foot kolache others
carried the canopy as if it was an
umbrella. The whole town stared at this
soggy kolache in silence. Even though it
was soggy in parts I found a few spots
that were edible, I grabbed a piece,
dipped it, ate it and yelled dig in; the
town cheered and followed the lead. As
tears of joy rolled down my face I felt
the real reason of starting this
company.
