Many of us probably remember how our grandmothers used to make dough, kneading the already fragrant dough for baking the main attribute of Easter.

From these days, it was believed that preparing for Passover should be done thoughtfully and following traditions and rituals.

Among them is baking paska. 

What should not be done when baking paska 

Bake in silence

They say that you can't let anyone outside their kitchen.

The quieter the kitchen, the better the strips will turn out.

It is best if you prepare them alone, in your bright thoughts.

As our ancestors believed, Easter dough needs careful and respectful treatment.


If there are children around, ask them not to make noise, otherwise the dough will be "scared" and may not rise.

What can't be done while baking the pashka

You need to cook paska in a good mood

It's no secret that a bad mood is a tasteless pastry.

You need to tune in and prepare paska with pleasure and desire.

Try to return to the warmest memories, think about the bright and joyful things in your life.

You can't say bad words

In no case should you say bad words while cooking paska, it is even undesirable to think them.

Even if you accidentally break something, don't fight even mentally.
