Великодні приготування🐣✨🌿

Two towering Easter breads dominate the Orthodox holiday table. While they share a similar cylindrical shape, the Ukrainian Paska and Russian Kulich take completely different culinary paths. The Ukrainian Paska is a soft, airy bread with a rich brioche crumb. The dough relies on light aromatics like vanilla and citrus zest. Instead of icing, bakers decorate the top with intricate dough ornaments like braids, crosses, and rosettes, sealing it all under a shiny egg wash before baking. You do not eat it as a dessert. It is sliced to accompany heavy savory holiday foods like horseradish, hard boiled eggs, and cured meats. The Russian Kulich is noticeably denser and richer. The bread leans heavily into warm spices, packing the dough with cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, and candied peel. It abandons dough decorations entirely for a thick white sugar glaze that drips down the sides, heavily coated in colorful sprinkles and chopped nuts. It is served alongside a sweet, molded farmer cheese dessert called Paskha.
