It was in my bucket list since ages and finally I have nailed it 🙌
I'll help you guys with a no fail recipe here..But do follow all the steps !!!
Ingredients
1. Milk - 300 ml
2. Butter - 80 gms (room temperature)
3. Maida ( All purpose flour ) - 300 gms
4. Sugar - 2 tbsp
5. Yeast - 1 tbsp ( active dry Yeast)
6. Salt - 1tsp
Activation of Yeast ( most important)
1. Take lukewarm milk 150ml , mix 2 tbsp sugar in it and after that add 1 tbsp yeast
2. Cover the mixture for 15 mins
3. Post 15 mins you will see the yeast has bloomed
Note : If not bloomed... yeast is too old or not of good quality stop there and get yourself a good yeast. If the above process fails...no need to proceed further !!!
Making of Dough
1. Add Maida, the above bloomed mixture, salt and the remaining milk in small small portions and make a soft dough.
2. The dough will be very sticky but you need to knead it for a good 20 mins ( no shortcut here )
Keep on adding butter while kneading !!
3. The dough will be ready..now tuck the dough and keep it covered with a damp cloth for 1 hour (1st proofing)
4. After 1 hour punch the dough, this will remove the air then knead for 2 more minutes
5. Now make balls, tuck each dough and place them in the mould.
6. Allow them to proof for another 1 hour (2nd Proofing)
7. After this brush the top layer gently with milk and butter ( this gives color to your Paavs)
Baking of the Paavs
1. In a Kadahi or deep wok place a layer of salt and a stand (generally in which we keep hot utensils)
2. Place the mould and cover it.
3. Flame should be medium high and it would take a total of 30 mins to bake.
4. If baking in convention mode or an OTG preheat it first and then bake at 200 degrees for 20-25 mins
Note : Once they are baked...allow them to cool by placing a damp cloth on top of it...Have them after 30 mins of being ready !!!
Relish the freshly baked Paavs 🎀
