Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 250 gm Maida
  • 190 ml milk
  • 5 gm salt
  • 20 gm butter (room temperature)
  • 15 gm milk powder
  • 8 gm Instant dry yeast  https://amzn.to/2P80aoz
  • 15 gm sugar
  • 5 ml milk (to brush the pav, before baking
  • 5 gm butter (to brush the baked pav)
  • 5 gm maida (to dust)
  • 2 ml oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  • Add the maida, instant dry yeast, salt, sugar and milk powder in the stand mixer https://amzn.to/2OJwBdX with dough kneading hook attachment. Start the machine and gradually add the milk to knead the dough. Keep the machine running and knead for 10 minutes. 
  • Now add the butter (room temperature) and knead more. It will turn from a sticky mass of dough to a dough that is smooth. When the gluten is activated and it is ready, will take more 15 minutes of kneading for reaching that stage. 
    After 15 mins of kneading, transfer this dough to a big bowl, cover and keep aside for 45 mins to one hour.
  • It will double in volume after one hour, take some maida dust your hands and punch down the dough. Take out and knead for one minute.
    Now divide this dough to equal portions. Roll this in a circular motion to make a round shape.https://amzn.to/2Yi8TJa
  • Take an 8" square cake tin and grease with oil, (line the base of the tin with a piece of parchment paper) place the shaped dough. Keep the dough portions very close touching each other. Otherwise, they won't rise up, but rise sideways and become flat.
    Now cover the tin with a damp cloth and keep aside for another 40-45 mins.
  • Preheat your oven to 180*C for 10 minutes.
    Carefully remove the damp cloth after 30 minutes so that they don't stick to the cloth.
    After 45 minutes, brush the pav gently with milk. Gently place the cake tin in the oven and bake for 15- 20 minutes.
  • If the buns don't look brown, bake for some more time. Take them out immediately and brush the top part with butter. Keep aside till they cool and ENJOY!
