Pampushka

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Pampushka is a type of bread roll that originates from Ukraine. It is often served with borscht, a traditional Ukrainian soup. Pampushka is typically small, round, and fluffy, and is often flavored with garlic and herbs.

History[edit | edit source]

The exact origins of pampushka are unknown, but it is believed to have been a staple in Ukrainian cuisine for centuries. The name "pampushka" comes from the Ukrainian word "pampukh", which means "bun" or "roll".

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Pampushka is made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt. The dough is allowed to rise before being shaped into small balls and baked until golden brown. After baking, the rolls are often brushed with a mixture of garlic, dill, and oil for added flavor.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Pampushka is traditionally served warm alongside borscht. The rolls are used to soak up the soup, adding a hearty element to the meal. In addition to borscht, pampushka can also be served with other soups or stews, or used as a base for sandwiches.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the traditional pampushka is plain and flavored with garlic and dill, there are many variations of the roll. Some versions include adding cheese, onion, or poppy seeds to the dough. There are also sweet versions of pampushka, which are made with sugar and cinnamon and served as a dessert.
