Ukrainian Garlic Bread (Pampushky)

Ukrainian Garlic Bread (Pampushky) are soft yeast rolls made from a milk and egg dough, baked until golden and topped with a garlic glaze infused with dill and coarse salt. The dough is allowed to rise twice for a fluffy texture. The garlic glaze combines multiple oils, fresh minced garlic, and dill, adding a pungent and herbaceous finish to the warm bread. These rolls are traditional and aromatic, perfect alongside soups or as a savory snack.

Description

Ukrainian Garlic Bread (Pampushky) features a yeasted dough enriched with milk, eggs, and oil, kneaded with bread flour and salt until elastic. After an initial rise, the dough is divided into small balls, which are then allowed to double in size before baking at 350°F until golden brown. A wash of beaten egg and water gives the rolls a shiny crust.

While baking, a garlic glaze is prepared from a blend of avocado, olive, and sunflower oils mixed with minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and coarse sea salt. Once baked, the pampushky are brushed with this potent garlic-dill oil, coating the soft rolls in a fragrant, savory glaze. The combination results in bread with a tender crumb and a richly aromatic, slightly pungent topping.

These rolls are traditionally served with borscht or other soups but also make a flavorful bread accompaniment or snack. The use of dill and the multi-oil garlic topping distinguishes them from other garlic breads.

Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups milk lukewarm
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 2 egg large
  • 5 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 7 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 egg for the tops
  • 1 tbsp water for the tops

Garlic Glaze

  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5 garlic minced, cloves
  • 1 tbsp sea salt coarse
  • 5 tbsp dill chopped, fresh

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar and active dry yeast together. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Add in eggs and oil and whisk until well-combined.

  5. Cover the pampushky with a towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they double in size. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon of water together. Brush the mixture on the tops. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pampushky turn golden brown.
  6. While the pampushky are baking, combine the oil, minced garlic, dill and salt in a small bowl.
  7. Brush the tops of the warm bread with the garlic mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
