Homemade Pav

Homemade Pav, this is something people buy from market if they make "Pav Bhabji" at home, but , I decided to make myself. I know, its a bit of the work behind making bread at home but, trust me the fresh bread is no where near to the market brought bread. So, please try this recipe and lemme know how you liked it.

Ingredients:

1 Cup All Purpose Flour/ Maida

½ tbsp Active Dry Yeast

½ tbsp Sugar

1 tsp Salt
1tbp Milk

2 tbsp Oil / Clarified Butter

½ Cup Lukewarm Water

Process:

**Tools Used: Hand Mixer, Spatula, Whisk, Bowl, Cookie Pan.

1)Take a bowl with lukewarm water, Add in Yeast, Sugar and let it rest for 5 minutes covered to let yeast active. Now sugar works as food for yeast which is key ingredient.

2) Once yeast turns frothy, take another bowl with flour in and add yeast mixture with salt. Continue kneading until it makes soft dough then too continue kneading for at least 5 minutes. This is to create gluten in dough that makes fluffy and soft pav. 

3) Now add in melted butter/Oil to the dough and kneed again till the dough absorbs all the oil.

4) Cover the dough and let it rest for an hour. After an hour you will observe the dough turns double i.e fermented. Now punch the dough and make equal size round balls.

5) Spray a non stick baking pan with oil and put these dough balls on the baking pan with some distance in between the dough balls. Cover the dough balls with kitchen towel/Plastic cover and let them rest for another half an hour.

6) After half an hour preheat the oven at 400F. Brush the dough balls with milk and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy!!
