Don't be discouraged, just continue baking and you will soon be baking very perfect breads!!! Good luck happy baking!!!

Hi Olya, I am a Filipino based in New Zealand. My family and I watch your vlogs all the time. Don't be discouraged if someone writes bad comments. Just remember that there are a lot of us here supporting and loving your work. Thank you for embracing our Filipino cuisines. keep it up!!!

The reason that your dough rose so little is because you placed them in a small mould. Usually, they're baked in a flat tray where they can rise and spread sideways. Don't worry, you can make them again, Cousin Olya, and show us better result. Your mom is becoming my favorite, too, with her stories of childhood memories , interests, and worldview. It adds to the charm of your vlog. ❤

Olya, your confidence in making Filipino treats and dishes is impressively growing stronger every time. I won't be surprised if one day you'd become a Russian expert on Filipino cuisine. I also have no doubt that you are endearing yourself to the Filipino people who will eventually reward you with even bigger subscription in the future. All the best to you!

Filipino ensaymada (энсайма́да) is based on a Spanish pastry, ensaïmada. While Chef RV likes to make his ensaymada with cream cheese frosting 🧀, the traditional toppings are butter, sugar, and cheese. While I have seen the more modern style (like the one you did), ensaymadas are traditionally spiral-shaped 🍥, just like Spanish ensaïmadas! And yes, they are great with coffee!

I love it that you walk us through the many historical buildings in Russia .. thank you for giving us ideas of what it is like to be living in Russia ❤

Cousin Olya, you just made “ensaymada” perfectly done and surely, one of your mom’s favorite pastry!! Good job, my friend!! I love to see other people around the world to try our Filipino bread, pastries and other food products still “unknown” to others. Cousin Olya, you made us proud and we respect you trying our foods! Thank you!! Hope someday you can also visit our beloved Philippines! God bless everyone!!🙏👍🇵🇭🫶🏻🇷🇺 You got a very beautiful country as shown on those powerful buildings!!

We glad that Russians like filipino breads and dishes,

Thank you mama Era for showing the beuatiful old historical buildings of Saint Petersburg. I wish to visit it in the near future.

I enjoy watching your mom Ira, very talkative, lively and funny while eating ensaymada.😅😅 🤣❤❤❤

Wow magnificent architectural design! Thanks mom Ira for sharing. Sarap ensaymada yummy ❤

Your mom is so nice showing her Russia and educating Filipinos

There are several factors why your buns did not rise as expected: 1. The yeast isnt working as it should. Try testing it first before baking so as not to waste time, effort and of course the other ingredients. 2. The dough wasnt kneaded enough, 3. Its cold in your area, yeast loves warm temp to thrive. I hope this helps. Just try and try until you succeed. Happy baking😊

Wow look yummy 😋. I'm only for taste but making that bread I cannot do that. I can do only for dresses 👗but about baking, I cannot do. Thanks Olya for showing And sharing your videos. See you on your next videos. Please take care of your self and safe with you're family's and please regards to all them but specially mama Olga. GOD guide and bless you all. 🙏💝🙏💙🙏💓🙏💜🙏💗🙏💛🙏💚🙏💖🙏 🇵🇭.

We are the world and respect the world.... Ty Phil. Bros.

Wow awesome yum yum enseymada my granddaughter favourite ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Thank you aunt Ira for the St Petersburgh's video 🤩 Beautiful colourful orthodox church by the canal. It looks like a painting, 😍 The muffins looked delicious!!! Have a wonderful day 🌈

So nice to see your mom very supportive of your vlog.

You are awesome, Olya. Keep on baking until you perfect the taste and form. I admire your love for our cuisine and our culture. I hope you will be able to visit the Philippines someday. I am sure you will love it there, like your cousin Andrei.

wow! delicious ensaymada! Wow the beautiful St. Petersburg! Beautiful Russia! Love from Philippines🥰🥰🥰

Mom Irina is lively and talkative that I enjoy watching her because she talks real. One of my favorite is pandesal because you can eat it with butter, peanut butter, jam. You can dip it in coffee, milk or even in cocoa. You can eat it together with pancit canton although both are carbohydrates it compliments the taste just eat in moderation. I love pandesal dip it with condense milk wow it's sweeter but the taste is wonderful. You can also eat pandesal together with scramble egg and with cornedbeef with potatoes. Filipino people are very creative and love to invent that's, why we come out or different food.

Wow! Nice Intro and Nice Background Music. You are learning your videos with style. Good Job! Ensaymada is a nice desert bread. hehehe

I considered you a good chef too like the one you followed chef RV MANABAT. you are a fast learner. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Olga for showing up your historical places and museum watching you from Australia 🇦🇺.

Wow 😅 my favorite

what an appetizing well made ensaymada. very neat

Wow! Another tour at the ever beautiful SPB! It seems that people from SPB are all artists. Hope you can show us around whenever you visit SPB. Keep baking Olya and sooner, you'll perfect the craft 🏆

Your talent for cooking and baking is exceptional, don't waste it, open up a shop Girl, you won't be disappointed, honest to god

Thank you for featuring my favourite childhood snack “ ensaymada ! Mama Ira is very knowledgeable about your country’s history, food and cuisine. I admire her for her enthusiasm narrating the history behind those beautiful architectural styles in your country. Keep up the good work Olya. God bless you and the whole family.

Hello Olya I'm so much grateful that you and your family really loved Filipino delicacies,just keep going in doing what you feel is right for you to do on making Filipino delicacies to make your Mom as well as your whole family,be an inspiration to your same Russian people for them to follow you and learn how to cook and baked Filipino delicacies, again good luck and Godbless you 💖🥰👏👏👍👍

Thank you for embracing our Filipino culture , i appreciate you Ms. Olya. More power to your channel…

Love watching you baking, always clean organized and systematic, ensaimadas look delicious! Love you and your mom.

Yeah you speak my bisaya language. Thanks from the Visayan!. Thanks for taking us a tour to the first catholic not roman church. This church was formed somewhere at the earliest after second or third century. Thanks mom!

I'm one of the many who wanted to taste your baked bread.

Nice architectural design of yours historical place. ❤

I am watching from Houston Texas. Russia is one of the countries I am going to visit. I have been to Germany France the Baltic countries Spain Gibraltar Hungary Austria Greece Switzerland Turkey Dubai but not Russia.. can’t wait to see St Petersburg. Best regards to your family and your cousins.

You have a natural talent for baking ❤

Oh my hi olya im joey from the Philippines thats one of my favorite glad to see dping it im sure you gonna fall inlove with that super soft delicate moist pastry. WELL DONE OLYA.

To help with getting your dough to expand more, try mixing the yeast with a cup of warm water and add a small amount of sugar to activate your yeast for 3 to 5 minutes before adding it to the flour. Hope it helps!

Wow , so delicious ensaymada... Love it so much cheese on top... Craving ahhahaha❤❤❤.. continue to do your passion... We're here continue looking more of your making Filipino foodie .. love yah❤❤❤

I love your videos, especially this one where you combine making delicious Ensaymada and showing sights in Russia. They look delicious with the cream and cheese you added to it! It's also very nice to see historic places, buildings and churches in St Petersburg,too. Great job, Olya, and also your mom is so fun to watch..we love her reactions to your baked goods😊😄😅

Cousin Olya I can see you getting better every time you make something! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lami kaayo...Masarap ang Ensaimada. Pandesal means "Salt bread" from the Spanish words Pan(bread) Sal(Salt)

gooday Olya and family watching here from Sydney Australia love your enthusiastic desire to bakeand cook Pilipino bread and cookies 😊😊😊🇵🇭

Hi cousin Olya, I think they did not rise too high because it was put in a cupcake pan which made their rising constricted, especially on the sides. We typically bake the ensaymada in a different kind of individual baking pans which are a little bigger in diameter with curved edges. But, using the cupcake pan is also OK! As you get more comfortable with it, you can try searching in the Internet, how to shape & roll the Ensaymada in the swirling way, which is typical in the Philippines. You are right that it is some kind of a sweet bun which there are many variations of in the Philippines, but ensaymada is typically done in a swirling way to differentiate them from the pandesal and cupcakes. Our Christmas feast and special occasions are not complete without the ensaymada sprinkled with lots of cheese on top! We also serve/eat them with slices of ham on the side, or you can also have your salami or sliced sausages. They go together and are delicious, plus a cup of good coffee is like heaven! Enjoy!

practice makes perfect, just keep on doing what's within your passion. how beautiful st. petersburg indeed. the way i looked at it, kazan cathedral resembles st. peter's cathedral in vatican. mom Irya did a good job taking those videos around and you for having brief history along simply made it even better. cheers!

Practice makes perfect.

As usual i never skip your adds so that you can cook more Philippine foods😊

Hello my friend! Olya, Olya have to do is to make me happy!

New subscriber here ❤from🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Philippines ❤

Magnificent architecture!!! ❤❤❤. GOOD JOB, IRA

Congratulations I'm sure its really good.. god bless to you and to your mom

⁠no worries, I also try to cook Filipino foods here in the UK, being away from my country makes me crave for the foods that I’m used to eat… I am learning how to cook Filipino foods every now and then. Keep on cooking 🌸💕

Looks so yummy! I am sure the next time you make it they will perfect as you wish it to be, but in my opinion they turned out really good! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love your city! So beautiful! ❤ Take care and God bless! 🥰

Keep it up and don’t be discouraged, it comes the time you will perfect it. Love your story and vlogging. Regards to whole family esp. to Mama Olga and Andrew and sister. Watching from New Zealand

In our province local bakeries usually sell ensaimada in spiral shape with sweetened monggo beans as filling and on top they put margarine and sugar 😊

No worries Olya, I know that you can improve and perfect your especial ensaimada next time. As the saying goes .."Practice makes perfect!" 😊 Just make it again and correct your mistakes the last time. I'm sure you'll do it correctly next time! 👍☺️🥰💕 All the best to you Olya! I really enjoyed and appreciated the beautiful cathedrals and historical structures you've shown in this video. I hope some day I get to visit and tour your beautiful place there in Russia! 😊

Wow!! Ensaymada looks so yummy! You did it Cousin Olya :)

More power to you olya .. im jaromir from cebu Philippines...

Looks yummy! Its great with tea or coffee! ❤

Your blogs has adventure which I love so much because I see a lot of new historical places abroad ❤

" WOW ", that was so so Yummy looks like Flowers, Full of Cheese , keep Cooking ang Baking Olya, Some day you can make Russian Filipino Bread and Pastries Shop there in Russia , 👍🏻❤🇵🇭🏝🚣🏻‍♀️

Wow! Amazing! God bless you and your family Olya!

Hi Cousin Olya, just so u know that your videos are appreciated. I was watching Andrei on his vlog about a subscriber that he blocked. Don't be discouraged by that. In life, it does happen. We can not please everyone, and yes, assh*les do exist. Just continue what you're doing. We enjoy watching you, Andrei, your mom ,your Aunt Olga, and Liza , the whole family❤

Ensaymada is a very tricky bread to make. My very first ones were like stones 😂 never tried again hahaha but one day will try to bake again maybe. Good job friend for trying❤

Olya, maybe you should use ensaymada pans so they can rise more. Probably, the yeast did not work. I do like your topping. Usually, the bakers will just put butter mixed with sugar and grated cheese on top of the ensaymada. Your topping is more special. It's good mom Ira found time to video St. Petersburg . She did a fine job in the way she filmed St Petersburg. Russian architecture is so impressive. The canal is so clean even if located in the city.

So proud of you. Watching fr Philippines

Looks very tasty with full of cheese ❤

i love watching your videos ❤️🇵🇭

St Petersburg architecture looks like Prague. I've been to Prague and now I want to visit St Petersburg. Thanks Olya and mom Era. Take care and stay happy and beautiful. 😊

beutiful orthodox church in so fine & many great details, l love russian architectural building and l seen russian subway tren magnificient simply amazing 👍perhaps build during sovient union days ..it should be the one also great wonder of the world russian landscape(scenery) nor russian heritage building site a piece of art moscow got many unique style mason architectural site, one of a kind in my opinion, one of my bucket list to visit one day, a lots of interesting stuff to see in russia

Beautiful and amazing St. Petersburg

They're cute ensaymadas, Olya. Check online those ensaymada molds that are wide in diameter so your buns will rice upwards & sidways. Looks special & yummy nonetheless 😋 🎉😊

More power to you and your channel!

The ensaymadas look delicious! It's ok if they didn't rise much, but maybe let it sit a little longer in a warm place before rolling them. Thank you to Mom Ira for the tour of St. Petersburg. I can't wait to see more of Russia.

You are awesome!

Such beautiful architectural designs of historical buildings and churches .. wow

nice story about bread and salt from your mom. actually pan de sal means salt bread

Magandang hapon cousin Olya at sa lahat.

Wow what a feast for the eyes!!! Your country is beautiful. A great place to enjoy a lot of architectural designs, culture and food😊😊😊.

Ensaymada is masarap. Mama Ira is interesting to talk to, you can learn a lot from her for sure. She never runs out of stories and a very supportive mother. 💚

One of my favorite bread😀

Wow Da. Masarap😊 Greetings from Philippines

My sister said maybe the preparation of your yeast, it must be floppy and very soft to achieve a very good ensaymada, just try happy baking thanks for your filipino baking

Очень хорошо, когда мы делаем это сами👍

wow my fav, buns thats so very yummy food of philippines thats very MASARAP,, then drink with Softdrinks wow..

Just continue vlogging Olya. We will be supporting you all the way. Just be strong, don't be intimidated by the bashers. That is part of being popular. Keep going..

Yes, I love ciabatta bread too, especially when toasted or grilled

I was watching this while eating pan de sal on a Philippine Sunday morning then I was imagining walking between that canal and those old historic buildings while eating special ensaymada😄That kind of ensaymada can be bought in boxes or wrapped separately and given as gift. Also, I'm surprised you don't have many kinds of bread in Russia, since it is one of the bread baskets of the world which is probably why many of the women in your family, your friends who vlog are skilled at baking.Well it's good you're learning to make new kinds of bread since you're skilled in baking.

You have exceptional talent 🎉

its yummy special enseymada
