I know this probably isn't what you meant us to think about, but suddenly, I'm thinking of the cultural impoverishment of modern life. There's just so much more love and life to all this than "microwave your hot cross buns from Tesco and serve with a packaged chocolate egg" that Easter has become in my native UK. Even in the midst of death, Ukraine is teaching us how to live. Thank you, Jolene.
That lovely lacquered crust! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Breaks my heart that millions of displaced Ukrainians will not be able to enjoy Easter in their own homes.
I can’t find any flaws in the beautiful paska you made, Jolene! A wonderful, timely post! I’m sorry I missed this virtual bake-a-thon in honor of Ukraine. As you know, I love all things made with yeast, so I’ll definitely be giving this a try.

Great theme Jolene 👏 I haven't eaten pascha since the last couple of years. Maybe it's time to make one for this Easter. Still got some time 👌 I love pisanki (wooden, painted eggs) and their traditional floral prints. They are always inside every easter basket here in Poland.
Beautiful post, Jolene! Wonderful to hear about the aid raised for World Central Kitchen. I used to live in Austin and would go to Easy Tiger all the time — I really need some of this Paska!

I love the traditions. Your loaf is beautiful! I’d love to try it with coffee and a visit! ♥️

It’s lovely. I’ll try and make one. Will experiment with sourdough starter…

The bread looks amazing and how wonderful it is to be able to connect and learn with people from around the world.
Lovely, Jolene! Can’t wait to attempt this beautiful recipe.
