👩🍳 Instructions
Starter (Sponge):
Dissolve the yeast with 1 tsp sugar in 50 ml warm milk.
Leave for 15 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Scalded Mixture:
Bring 200 ml milk + 50 g butter to a boil.
Remove from heat, add 3–4 tbsp flour (from the total amount), and mix until smooth.
Let it cool.
Egg Yolk Mixture:
Beat the yolks with 100 g sugar.
Add the sponge, salt, vanilla sugar, and orange paste.
Egg White Mixture:
Beat the egg whites with 100 g sugar until foamy.
Add sour cream and melted butter.
Combine:
Mix the yolk and white mixtures together.
Add the scalded mixture and mix well (you can use a mixer).
Dough:
Gradually add the sifted flour and knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours.
Raisins:
Coat the raisins lightly in flour, then mix them into the dough.
Shaping:
Divide the dough and place into molds, filling them ½ to ⅓ full.
Let rise again.
Baking:
Brush the tops with egg yolk mixed with milk.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–45 minutes.
⚠️ Do not open the oven for the first 30 minutes!
If the tops brown too quickly, cover with parchment paper.
Steam Tip:
Place a container of water on the bottom of the oven — this improves the texture.
💡 Tip:
Want perfect paska? Don’t rush. Give the dough warmth and time, and it will reward you with an amazing result.
