Ukrainian Bread with Cherries – Perfect Recipe
Summer is the season of berries in Ukraine. All my childhood I spent at Poltava Region in the central part of Ukraine. Here, the older people never bought sweet buns, but they tried to make sweet breads with different fillings, using their own recipes.
Today I will share with you one of my favorite recipes, the cherry bread. This type of berry’s bread goes perfectly with a glass of milk.

1 ounce yeast
18 oz of milk

Tips:
Don’t use too much sugar – the juice from the cherries can mess up the bread.
It is important to take ripe berries that don’t have sour taste.
Also you can sprinkle the cooked bread with powdered sugar.
