    Pav Buns

    This is the first time I am making it, the result was quite amazing. These buns turned out so soft and spongy. I totally loved it. The smell of freshly baked buns fills your house as you baked them. There is nothing better than baking your own bread or buns.

    About Pav Buns

    Pav Buns are one of the main thing which you need as a side for  vada pav or pav bhajji. These fluffy and soft buns are so tasty with anything. You can have it on its own too. They are readily available in supermarkets , but they are quite expensive here..So I thought to make it on my own.

    Eggless Indian Pav

    I actually made vada pav, potato pav, onion pav using this and served it with green chutney and tamarind chutney. They are totally delicious…Will post recipes soon...You could probably stuff anything in this from chicken filling to vegetable filling and enjoy this soft buns.

    I actually had one by just spreading some green chutney and tamarind chutney and sprinkled some garlic chutney  over it and took my first bite, wow it was so good.. Would recommend you to try it once…So without any delay off you go to the recipe.

    Whole Wheat Pav Buns Recipe

    Pin

     
    I have already shared a traditional pav recipe. But this is a recipe which is made using whole wheat, it is for those health conscious people. This buns turned out so soft and fluffy, just like normal pavs. I served it with my bhaji and it was super yummy.

    Eggless Whole Wheat Pav

    Making whole wheat buns or bread is not at all hard, if you get the dough right then those buns will turn just soft. The dough which you make has to be very soft and sticky. This sticky dough will give you the soft bun or bread. Then after the first rise, you can add more flour and knead the dough well till it is soft and plump. Now when you make buns or bread using this. It will turn out beautiful.

    Pro Tips

    1)Activating yeast till it is foamy is very important before you proceed with the dough. If your yeast is not foamy them please don't continue, the dough wont rise and it will give you a rock hard bun.  

    2)The dough which you make before the first rise has to be sticky. This what gives your tender and soft buns.  

    Common Questions about yeast:  

    1)Why my yeast is not getting foamy and activated?    

    There may be three reason for your yeast not activating.    

    a)If you add too hot water to yeast, it will kill the yeast.     

    b)If you add too cold water, then the yeast won't activate.    

    c)Your yeast may be expired or out of date. Get a fresh packet.  

    2)How to store yeast?    

    Always store yeast in an airtight container in freezer.

      Hi Aarthi,

      Cant wait to try out the recipe for the buns. I have tried to bake buns several times but they just dont turn out really spongy as we get them in the bakery. I had a few doubts would be great if you could clarify them.

      Did you use maida or bread flour?
      How long did you knead the dough for?

      Waiting for your reply.

      Regards
      Lakshmi

      I used maida in this and i didn't knead the dough so long..Just 5 mins is good...

      @Lakshmi and one more tip for soft buns is the dough should be very soft and not stiff...that makes the buns so soft

      Hi Aarthi, came across your lovely blog today. It was very nice reading all the recipes and also about you, infact I'm still going through the blog.

        Hi Aarthi I kept dough for longer time like 4 hrs and my Pav didn’t rise so should we not keep it for long time.

      @Priety MaheshwariThen your yeast is the problem. Your buns didn't rise much because of yeast so it is hard

      Hi Arthi,
      i tried pav buns from your space. The outer crust turned out to be hard and buns were dense.. i used fast acting yeast.so didnt proof. added directly to flour. where have i gone wrong? Any suggestions

      Thank you

      @Vidhya
      Did your dough rise well. If it didn't rise, then it is the mistake of yeast. Try with different yeast. I find activating yeast before adding it in flour helps a lot.

      @VidhyaAfter making the balls did you allow it to rise. And also, the dough which you made should be very soft, then only you will get soft buns..

      Hi Aarthi,
      I am a regular follower of your blog.Thanks for all recipes which are simply great. Today I tried Pav buns using the same measurements as mentioned. It tasted awesome but need few corrections which i couldn't find out.
      1. After keeping in baking tray, buns didn't rise much (second rise) even after keeping for 1 hr.
      2. Colour became slight golden allover the buns after baking and the outer crust remains hard even after cooling.
      Hope you can guide me. Thank you.

        If the dough didnt rise. Then you must have added it to too hot milk or water. That must have killed it.
