Description:
The bread is known as pav because you get it in a set of four and then you break off each mini loaf as you eat. The Pav means one-fourth in the Marathi language. Pav was brought to India by Portuguese people. Pav is an integral part of some Indian dishes such as pav-bhaji, misal-pav, vada-pav, etc. You can serve it with any curry or bhurji also. These rolls are homemade so they don’t have any additional preservative.
Ingredients:
- 3 cup all purpose flour/ maida
- 2 ยฝ tbsp butter (at room temperature)
- 1 ยผ cup warm milk
- 8 gm/ 1 sachet yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- ยฝ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp milk (for milk-wash)
- Stand mixer (optional)
Procedure:

Take 1 ยผ cup warm milk in a bowl, add 2 tsp sugar, yeast and keep it aside for 5-7 min to activate the yeast
Once it’s activated, add all purpose flour and knead the dough (for 15-20 min) with hands, then add butter and knead it again till it becomes smooth (if you have a stand mixer, knead the dough for 20 min on speed level 2).
After 20 min, tuck the dough, cover it with cloth/ cling wrap and rest for 1 hour in a warm place. After 1 hour, the dough will be doubled in size. Punch the dough, and knead it slightly to remove the air.
Now cut the dough in small portions, make the balls (40-45 gm each) and place them in a greased tray and spray oil. Cover it, and keep the tray aside for 30-35 min to rise the balls. After 30 min, give milk wash to the dough without damaging the balls.
Preheat the oven at 180ยฐC (350ยฐF) and bake it for 20-25 min or until the pav becomes golden brown in color. After baking them, take out the tray and rub with the butter to get a shiny texture. Cover it with wet cloth and let them cool. Finally enjoy the pav with your like of curry.
