"Pampushka" is a small savory or sweet yeast-raised bun or doughnut typical for Russian/Ukrainian cuisine. Often served with Borscht or other soups.
Origin: Ukraine. Pampushka has a very fluffy texture and topped with garlic and dill. My childhood's favorite!

PAMPUSHKI RECIPE

Ingredients for dough:

300g(2½ cups)plain flour
150ml(½ cup)warm water
2 tsp active dry yeast
½(1) tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp vegetable oil

Method:

In a large mixing bowl, combine: warm water, sugar and yeast, mix.
Add an egg and mix.
Add salt and vegetable Oil( I am using avocado oil), mix.
Add about 2/3 of all required flour and mix into thick paste.
Add remaining flour and form the dough.
Transfer onto table surface and knead until smooth in texture(about 5 minutes).
Oil mixing bowl and place dough in it.
Cover and let proof for 1 hour in warm place.
Make topping for Pampushki.

Pampushki topping:

3 cloves garlic(minced)
1 bunch dill(chopped)
2 tbsp vegetable oil( I am using avocado oil)
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp Maldon salt(for sprinkling after)

Mix all ingredients together and set aside.

When the dough has proofed, cut in half.
Roll each half into a "snake" about 1½ inch in diameter and cut into small pieces(about 30g each). Roll each piece into a ball and set them into a baking dish(close to each other). Oil dish first with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
Cover and set for second proof for 20 minutes.

Brush with bitten egg and bake at 360°F(180°C) for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While hot, spoon out topping and sprinkle with Maldon salt.
Enjoy with Borscht!
