Ladi Pav

I found this site - cookingshooking.in.  He has amazing recipes for breads and some videos on youtube.  I like the way he explains the process. 
My daughter loves pav buns and so I decided to make them.  I tried the exact recipe from the same site a few weeks ago and didn't get it right.  I think I should have used the weight measurements instead of the cup.  Well, last night I actually measured out the ingredients by weight and decided to use half whole wheat and half white flour.  It turned out very well :).

Shaped dough before second rise

The baked pav buns

I also used a little bit less milk powder as I had only 10 gms.

This is the recipe I followed:

Ingredients

• Plain Flour / Maida- 125  gm
• Wheat flour - 125 gm
• Milk - 190 ml
• Salt - 5 gm
• Butter - 20 gm
• Milk Powder - 10 gm
• Instant Yeast - 8 gm
• Sugar - 15 gm
• Milk & Butter - For Brushing
• Herbs - 1 tsp
•  Butter - for greasing (since I used a stainless steel pan)  

 The procedure for making the dough is the same as making bread (proofing yeast, kneading well for 10 mins, first rise).  After the first rise in a well oiled bowl, you shape it into 15 equal sized balls and place it a greased loaf pan so that they touch one another.  Keep in a warm place and let it rise for another 45 mins or so.  Brush with milk and (or) butter and bake for 20 mins at 375 deg F.

Note:

The site says you can make 16 balls and fit it in a 8x8 dish.  I couldn't get that to work.  I used an 8x4 loaf pan and could get 15 pavs (3 columns and 5 rows).  They also had the pavs baking at 200 deg C (~ 390 deg F) for 15 mins . During my first time the pavs were undercooked on the inside when I baked at 400 deg F.  So I made some changes.
