Garlic sauce pampushki are a fragrant addition to traditional borscht, originating from Slavic cuisine. Tender, airy rolls made from yeast dough acquire a golden crust and are filled with the appetizing aroma of garlic sauce that gives them a spicy and rich flavor. They are served hot, straight from the oven, generously smeared with fragrant garlic sauce made of garlic, herbs, and vegetable oil. They pair perfectly with hearty meat and vegetable dishes but are also delicious on their own. Historically, pampushki have been a symbol of hospitality, and their softness and rich taste make them a favorite treat at family gatherings. This simple yet heartfelt recipe can fill the home with coziness and delightful aromas.
