I am telling you this is one of the best bun in the world. So soft and so fluffy. Please guys before starting the post, i am telling you, dont ask me substitutes for anything. Because it has to be done exactly like this..I am not sure about the substitutes of eggs in this..But i will surely share a eggless brioche recipe soon.

Pav Buns


This is so easy to make, the dough with take just few mins to make. The dough is so easy to work with, you can shape it into any shapes..
I made a briaded bread and loved it so much..I made a three braided bread. I will share a separate post about how to make 5 and 7 braided bread soon.
I hope you will like this and let me know how it turned out..
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Resting Time : 1.5 to 2 hours
Baking Time : 15 mins
Makes : 12 buns
Recipe Source : SimplySoGood

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida – 3 1/2 cup / 420 grams
Water – 1 cup / 240 ml
Milk – 3 tblspn
Dry Yeast – 2 tsp
Sugar – 2 1/2 tblspn
Egg – 1 
Salt to taste
Unsalted Butter – 50 grams (softened)

Method:

Take water in a microwave safe bowl, add in milk and butter and microwave it for 10 to 20 sec. It should get nice a warm..Should be luke warm. The butter wont melt.

Now add sugar to it and mix well. Now sprinkle over yeast and let it sit for 5 mins till it is activated.

Now take flour, salt in a bowl and mix well.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl and mix well

Add in egg and mix well.

Now knead this for a good 5 mins till the dough is soft and springy.

Cover it and let it rest for 1 to 1.5 hour till it is doubled in size.

Now knock back the air and knead once. Flatten it and divide it into equal portion. 

Take one portion and shape it into ball. Flatten it slightly.

You can even braid the dough or do it in any shape. Arrange this in a parchment lined baking tray and cover it fr 30 mins till it puffed and doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 200 degree C.

Now brush the top of the buns with some egg and sprinkle it with sesame seeds

Now bake this for 15 mins. Remove it and let it cool a little before serving.


Pictorial:
Take all your ingredients
Take water in a microwave safe jug
add in milk
and butter
i popped it in microwave for 10 to 20 sec till it is luke warm,
the butter need not melt throughly
now add in sugar and mix well
add in yeast and mix well..Let it sit for 5 mins.
Now the yeast is activated
Take flour in a bowl
add in salt
mix well and make a well in the center
now add the yeast mix
add in egg
mix well
now knead this for a good 5 mins
it will form into a smooth and soft dough
Now place this in a large bowl
cover it with a plastic wrap and let it rise
look beautifully it has risen
knock back the air and give a knead
now flatten it like a disc
cut it into equal portions
take a ball
roll it into a smooth ball
place it in a parchment sheet lined baking dish..
I used my silicon mat
flatten it slightly
Now take another portion
Roll it thinly
give a twist like this
now tuck one side under
and other side upper..pinch them as well
Tada
now lets make braided broiche..take three balls
roll them thinly
pinch the top
now start braiding, like you braid your hair
go on
go on
go on..
i cut off the top and bottom to give a finished look
beautiful..
arrange all your buns and bread in a tray
cover it again and let it rise
I would suggest you to use a bigger pan or do it in batches.Because since i placed them quite close, as the buns
baked they stuck to each other..
now crack open a egg
beat them up
brush on top generously
Sprinkle with seeds
all beautifully baked
enjoy
They were just soft as cloud
look how soft it is..

    Dear please try baking with self rising/raising flour.Do u get this at your place?? It makes life so easy because one does not have to bother with yeast and baking powder then.If u can use them,please do because want to know how to use the flour in the buns.Please guide.

    @imroseI haven't used that dear.Because i couldn't find it here.And i hope yeast is must for bread and bun baking. because self rising flour just has baking powder and salt in them. It is good for cakes and baked goodies like that

      So true Aarthi, baking powder is not for breads, I bet if used in the above buns will change the texture and taste drastically. Might end up like scones.

    Hi Aarthi, i tried making the bread yesterday using half the ingredients but the dough was very sticky to handle so i had to add more flour. Though the bread came out well but was not as soft and fluffy as yours. Was slightly dense in texture. What could have went wrong? Thanks.

    @umamahicake will rise nicely, but bread depends on how much time you are actually leaving it to rise..You could put your bread in upto 3/4th it is full.
