The method

Step by step

1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar.
Cook’s note: Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
2
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
About 10 min
3
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and the dough vegetable oil to the yeast mixture.
4
Mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
About 2 min
5
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
About 1 hr 30 min
7
Once risen, gently punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
About 2 min
8
Shape each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them in a round or square baking dish (about 9x9 inch or 23x23 cm) that has been lightly greased.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Leave a little space between the rolls as they will expand during baking.
9
Cover the dish again and let the pampushky rise for another 20-30 minutes.
About 30 min
10
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
About 15 min
11
Bake the pampushky for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
About 22 min
12
While the pampushky are baking, prepare the garlic topping: In a small bowl, combine the garlic topping vegetable oil, minced garlic, fresh dill, and salt.
About 5 min
13
Once baked, remove the pampushky from the oven and immediately brush generously with the garlic topping.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Brushing while hot allows the garlic oil to soak in for maximum flavor.
14
