In Ukraine bread is the symbol of life.
It represents peace and friendship. Forgiveness and enduring memory. Since ancient times bread has been highly honored as a gift from above.
For generations, Paska has been the bread made in kitchens throughout the regions of Ukraine on Good Friday. The timing of Easter, the Christian holiday, more or less coincides with the pre-Christian ancient festival of spring called Velykden. For this reason, the celebration of Easter incorporates many ancient rituals, including the making of Paska.
A Ukrainian ethnographer, Stepan Kylymnyk, in his book Calendar Year in Ukrainian Folklore (vol. 2, 1959), described an old custom of baking three loaves. The purpose of the first was for the sun and the sky. They believed that the sun would give health and long life to their family members. The second loaf for the deceased and a third for the living people.
Loaves are often decorated, their symbolism belonging to spring themes. Nature, resurrection, and rebirth. Crosses are the most prevalent adornment for Paska, its significance in Christianity is obvious. In pre-Christian times, when people based their beliefs on nature and its phenomena, the cross symbolized the four seasons or four cardinal directions.
The bread itself is rich in butter and eggs. Round and tall, and baked in a variety of round baking pans, often in coffee cans they have saved throughout the year. While this recipe is simple, a variety of aromatics can be used…my favorite being orange zest. Also consider adding ginger, saffron, vanilla, or rum. Its texture resembles, for me, a mix between cake and bread.
While the dough rises, it is important for Ukrainians that they quiet their homes.
Right now, the United Nations estimates that over 9 million Ukrainians have been forced from their homeland because of war.
When I watch the footage emerging from these border crossings, my gaze stays longer on the images of grandmothers. Many in wheelchairs, pushed mile after mile, bundled under blankets often covered in a blanket of snow. These women should instead be covered in a dusting of flour, surrounded by family, carrying on the tradition of Paska baking this Easter season.
I believe so strongly in the power of food and its ability to connect cultures and unite us as people. The way taste and smell can make us both wistful for the past and hopeful for the future. This Spring, I’ll be foregoing my own traditions for the baking of Paska. I will quietly knead, shape, rise, and bake what so many generations of Ukrainian women have passed down through the generations. Will you join me in keeping this tradition alive on their behalf this year?

• 25g Fresh Yeast
Dough Ingredients:
• 550g All-Purpose Flour
• 150ml Milk
• 90g Sugar
• 10g Honey
• 2 Medium Eggs
• 100g Melted Butter
• Lemon Zest
• Orange Zest
• Vanilla Extract
Cream Cheese Filling
• 400g Cream Cheese
• 100g Raisins
• 3 tbsp Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• Lemon Zest
• Vanilla Extract
• 3 tbsp Semolina
Directions:
Step1
Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved. Gradually incorporate the flour and continue stirring. Sprinkle with more flour on top and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Start preparing the dough. In a bowl add the flour and in the middle add the yeast mixture. Now it’s time to incorporate the liquid ingredients: the warm milk, 2 medium beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon of honey. Start kneading the dough until all ingredients are incorporated.
Add the sugar, and the flavors: lemon zest, orange zest and vanilla extract. Knead the dough until the sugar is fully incorporated. The last step is the butter. Gradually add the melted butter and knead the dough until elastic. Cover and place it in a warm place until doubled in size.
Step 3
It’s time to prepare the cream cheese filling! In a bowl mix the cream cheese, 2 beaten eggs, the lemon zest, the sugar, the raisins, and the vanilla extract. Stir until all incorporated.
Grease with oil the surface in order to prepare the dough. Divide it and start forming the Paska base.
Step 4
Grease the prepared baking pan with some oil. Place the dough and press it a little bit with your fingers. Divide the remaining dough and start forming balls. Try to make them equal. Place them on top of the base. Add the semolina in the cream cheese filling and stir until incorporated. In the center fill in the cream cheese mixture. Grease with some milk. You can also use some beaten eggs for a brown color. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake it at 170 °C for 40 minutes!
Enjoy!
