I am hoping to keep adding to the menu and switching items seasonally as Pechka Bakery grows. I am excited to share these flavors with you all! I tried to make these baked goods accessible by including nut-free and vegan options. The Napoleon cake is especially near and dear to my heart because it is based off of a family recipe and tends to only be served on special occasions (but now you can eat it any day of the week!). While many of the baked goods you'll find here are not traditionally Russian, they are influenced by flavors from my childhood.

It is a simple word but evokes the feeling of home, family, and history. Pechka was even significant enough to become a character in Russian folklore. It was used for heating, cooking, and at times, even sleeping. Historically, in Russian culture, the oven was the epicenter of a home.

With the support and encouragement from my husband, John, our friends, and family, Pechka Bakery has graduated from a concept into reality. I was born in Moscow, Russia but I have now lived in Ohio longer than anywhere else. Pechka Bakery is my home bakery that was established in 2020 in Columbus, Ohio. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a spoon, mix in the flour until a crumbly, loose mixture forms. Put back 10 pieces into the fridge and only keep 2 to work on. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and sugar until smooth. This should chill the butter if it was still warm from melting. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sour cream. I like to bake, eat, read, and cuddle with my dog, Bear. Layer the wafers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
