One of the best garlic buns I’ve ever had in my life! They are fluffy, soft and super garlicky. Ukraine is known as the “breadbasket” of Europe, and both garlic and bread are staples of the cuisine. These rolls are traditionally served alongside Borscht and the garlic’s sharpness compliments the sweetness of borscht’s beets. The dough is enriched with milk, sunflower oil and egg, shaped into tight balls and organized together in a pan. After being baked the buns are brushed with fresh dill and raw garlic. I wish you could have smell it guys. But hey! You can make them! Here are the ingredients for these gorgeous buns!
