Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour maida, optional, for softer texture
- 3/4 tsp Active Yeast dry
- 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Water 105-115°f (40-46°c)
- 1 1/2 cup Milk whole milk recommended, can substitute with water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 tbsp Butter for brushing after baking
Instructions
Prepare the Yeast Mixture
- Combine warm water/milk mixture with sugar. Stir until dissolved. Let cool slightly to lukewarm (105-115°F). Add yeast and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour (if using), salt. Add the bloomed yeast mixture and oil.
Knead the Dough
- Begin kneading the dough. It will be sticky initially. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little milk if needed to achieve a slightly moist consistency.
First Rise
- Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape and Second Rise
- Gently punch down the dough. Divide into 8-10 equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet leaving some space between each bun for rising.
- Cover loosely and let rise for another 25-30 minutes.
Bake the Buns
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the buns with milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Finishing Touches
- Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter for a glossy finish. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Pav Buns:
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate ingredient measurements for best results.
- If your dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Too wet, add flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- The rising time may vary depending on the temperature and humidity of your environment.
- For extra flavour, add a teaspoon of cardamom powder or other spices to the dough.
