95 minutes

Garlic sauce pampushki are an integral part of traditional Ukrainian borscht. Their softness and lightness perfectly complement the rich flavor of this dish, while the garlic sauce adds spiciness and enhances the aroma. Pampushki are considered a symbol of home comfort and hospitality in Ukrainian cuisine. They are made from yeast dough and undergo a careful proofing process that makes them especially tender. After baking, they are drizzled with garlic sauce, giving them an appetizing golden crust and rich taste. Pampushki pair perfectly with hot borscht, absorbing its aroma and helping to reveal all the nuances of the dish. This pastry wonderfully complements any feast and reminds of family traditions passed down through generations.
