Garlic Pampushki
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Pampushky are fairly easy to make, but like any other baked goods, they require time and patience. The dough rises for about two hours and proofs for another 40–45 minutes. But it bakes very quickly — just 15–20 minutes. Good luck, and they can be served warm or chilled.
