This is by far one of my favorite breads to eat. I am still in the process of perfecting it and only time will tell if I can make the perfect Pav.
Ingredients:
• 1 package active dry yeast (8g)• ½ cup lukewarm water
• 1-½ cup milk, room temperature
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 4 tsp. melted butter
• 2 tsp. salt
• 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs (1 to mix and another for egg wash or you can substitute with milk for the wash)
Method:
• Soften active dry yeast in warm water. Add the sugar and let yeast get activated for around 15 mins.• Take 1 cup of the flour and add 1 beaten egg.
• Add salt and milk to the mix.
• Add the activated yeast.
• Gradually add remaining flour to form soft dough. Knead the dough (around 7 - 8 minutes) until soft and pliable.
• Add the butter and knead a few more minutes.
• Roll into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl.
• Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size (1½ to 2 hours)
• Knead the dough very lightly on a floured surface and shape into 12 - 16 small balls (approx. 75 grams per roll)
• Place rolls next to each other in a lightly dusted baking tray, then cover and let rise for another ½ hour, until risen.
• Wipe the tops of the rolls with the egg wash (or milk)
• Bake in medium oven, 375 degrees F for 15 - 20 minutes, until the rolls are golden.
• Brush a little extra butter on the crusts while still warm.
