Cuisine: American, Indian
Author: Sangeetha Priya
Ingredients
  • Bread Flour - 3 Cups
  • Active Dry Yeast - 2.5 tsp (Instant 2tsp)
  • Unsalted Butter - 4 Tbsp
  • Kosher Salt - 1 tsp
  • Milk Powder - 2-3 Tbsp
  • Sugar - 1.5 Tbsp
  • Whole Milk / Full Fat Milk - 1/2 Cup
  • Water - 3/4 Cup
Instructions
  1. Add 1/4 cup milk + 1/2 Cup water, warm it then add sugar and yeast to it.
  2. Keep aside in warm place, undisturbed.
  3. It turns frothy in less than 5 minutes as shown in the video (don't keep more than that).
  4. In a mixing bowl add flour, salt and milk powder.
  5. Stir the yeast mixture with a spoon and add it to the flour mixture.
  6. Add the remaining 1/4 cup milk and in batches add the remaining 1/4 cup water.
  7. The consistency is well shown in the video, you may have to knead for 5- 8 minutes approx and the dough has to be little sticky in texture.
  8. Later add the soft butter and knead for few more minutes.
  9. The kneaded dough should be well moisturized and bit sticky before proofing.
  10. Cover the kneaded dough with towel or cling wrap and allow to rise in warm place for an hour.
  11. Later punch the dough, weigh it for me it yield 850 grams approximately.
  12. Divide the dough in to equal proportions.
  13. I divide it to 12 buns as shown in 10X10 inch cake pan of each 65 grams approx.
  14. You can use 2 - 8 inch cake pan for this quantity or 13X9 pan or 10X15 in that case reduce the weight of each bun and arrange accordingly.
  15. Once arranged allow the buns / rolls for second rise in warm temperature, it takes 30 -40 minutes.
  16. Once done brush the pav / buns with milk.
  17. In preheated oven at 375 F bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
  18. Apply melted butter immediately when the buns are out from the oven.
  19. Serve warm here I have served it with Vada and Chutneys, will be posting the recipes in few days...

Recipe Notes
  1. You can use Maida / All Purpose Flour instead of bread flour (or use half quantity of each flour).
  2. The texture of the bun varies depending on the type of flour you use.
  3. I use unbleached Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour and sometimes Organic from Whole Foods Market.
