Ingredients


For The Pav


2 cups bread flour


2 teaspoons semolina


1 cup warm water


2 teaspoons yeast


1 teaspoon salt





To make the Pav





Mix the yeast with the warm water in a bowl and allow to stand for 15 mins till it ferments and becomes frothy. Combine the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl. Start kneading the dough by adding small quantities of the yeast water over time. Stop when you have a dough of smooth consistency and is not dimpled. Cover the bowl with a thin, damp cloth and stand for 40 mins. The dough will rise to twice its size. Punch it and knead it again. Stand for another 10 mins. Now your dough is ready. Shape the dough into a flat, broad, loaflike form. With a spatula, make grooves onto the dough to form 6-8 'pav'. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 deg C for 50 mins. You may apply an egg-white glaze before baking, if you wish for nicely browned 'pav'.Recipe for Indian Pav bread?

Original recipe yield: 10 servings.


Prep Time:15 Minutes


Cook Time:15 Minutes


Ready In:30 Minutes





INGREDIENTS:


1 cup whole wheat flour


1 cup all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons olive oil


3/4 cup hot water or as needed





DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the olive oil and enough water to make a soft dough that is elastic but not sticky. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Divide into 10 parts, or less if you want bigger breads. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few minutes.





Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the balls of dough until very thin like a tortilla. When the pan starts smoking, put a chapati on it. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Continue with remaining dough.
