Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (maida): 3 cups
  • Whole wheat flour: 2 cups
  • Milk powder: 2 tbsp
  • Active dry yeast: 1 tsp
  • Sugar: 2 tsp
  • Salt: 3/4 tsp
  • Butter: 2 tbsp
  • Vegetable oil: 4 tsp (for kneading and greasing)
  • Warm water: 2 cups

Method

  1. Put the maida, whole wheat flour, milk powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Whisk well with a spatula.
  2. Add the yeast, butter and 1 cup of warm water.
  3. Mix all the ingredients well.
  4. Add the remaining water slowly. I needed 2 cups of water in total.
  5. Mix to make a nice dough.
  6. Transfer the dough to a clean, greased surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic, using oil as needed. 4 tsp is enough for kneading and greasing.
  7. Place the soft dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Let it rest for 1 hour.
  8. After 1 hour, the dough will have doubled in size.
  9. Punch down the dough and knead it again for about 10 minutes.
  10. Shape the pavs and arrange them on a greased tray about 1 inch apart.
  11. Leave the tray to rise again for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  12. Bake the pavs in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10 minutes, or until brown.

This recipe makes about 24 medium-sized pavs. Enjoy hot, homemade, soft pav with bhaji, batata vada or maska! I made stuffed vada pav with these soft pavs.
