Traditional Dome-Shaped Easter Paska

Paska is a celebratory sweet loaf prepared during spring holiday traditions. The bread features a flat base that widens into a rounded upper crown, often marked with deep vertical indents created as the enriched dough bakes inside tall round baking tins.

Historical Baking Traditions of Paska

Bakers traditionally enrich Paska dough with milk, butter, eggs, and raisins to symbolize abundance after long periods of winter fasting. The rounded golden top is often decorated with dough crosses, braids, or a shiny sugar glaze.
