Homemade Pav Bread is very easy to prepare at home. This is my third time making this Pav bread. It is so soft, fluffy and much better than the store brought ones. My kids love this bread very much and they take it to school also for lunch.
This is my 5th baking dish for Bake a thon which is hosted by Srivalli.

Ingredients:
- Plain flour/maida-2cups +3tbsp (for dusting)
- Milk-¾ cup + 2tbsp
- Butter-4tbsp
- Sugar-1tbsp
- Salt-1tsp
- Active dry yeast-2tsp
- Oil-3tbsp
Preparation:
Take a bowl, add warm milk, yeast, sugar and stir well. Cover and rest it for at least 5-10minutes or until you see the frothy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with dough hook, add flour, salt, oil and butter. Mix on low speed. (You can mix the dough with your hands without using a stand mixer)
Then add the fermented yeast mixture and start mixing on low speed, until all the ingredients combine together. Then increase the speed from medium to high speed for a minute or until it forms into a dough.
Cover and rest the dough until it doubles in its size. (it took 11/2 hours for me)
After the dough rises, punch the dough and knead for another 5 minutes.
Divide the dough equally and roll each ball in palms to get a smooth round ball.
Grease the pan with oil and place the balls. Cover it with a cling film and rest again for the second time to raise. (it takes 40-45 minutes)
Preheat the oven to 200°C
After that brush, the balls gently with melted butter and bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow it cool. Then transfer the pav on the wire rack to cool. Now again apply the melted butter the second time to get the shiny gloss.
Enjoy tasty and delicious Pav with your favourite sabji or curry.

I tried this recepie BT failed my dough became so sticky and also after proofing it for an 2 hour oil or butter separate from my dough
Pavani
Divya, I make this recipe regularly with the same measurements and never failed. Maybe you have add more water or milk and you need to knead it very well.
Farmina Fahmy
Hey Pavani,
Super soft and yummy buns. This is my fool proof recipe for making pav/ bun. I have a query, can this recipe be used for making loaf bread as well. If so what is the baking time. Thanks
Pavani
Thank you Farmina. Yes you can make loaf bread with this recipe and bake @180degree Celsius for 18-20 minutes.
Farmina
Thank you. I have tried and came out really good. Texture was perfect.
Pavani
Thank you Farmina, for trying the recipe and for your feedback.Hope you enjoyed it.
