Весільний коровай is a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread, symbolizing prosperity and happiness for the newlyweds. It is usually round and richly decorated with intricate designs, often featuring symbols of fertility and abundance. The bread is typically made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, and is baked to a golden brown. During the wedding ceremony, the коровай is presented to the couple, who take turns cutting it. This act signifies their first joint task as a married couple. Sharing the bread with guests is a way to spread joy and blessings, making it an essential part of Ukrainian wedding customs.
