Method

• Take 1/4 cup milk from the recipe.
• Warm it slightly. It should be just warm to touch and not hot.
• Mix in sugar. Now Sprinkle yeast over it.
• Let it sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
• You will see that the yeast has bloomed up.
• In a bowl take 1 cup Wwf and 1 cup Apf. Add in the yeast mixture and remaining milk. Mix everything together with a wooden spoon.
• Cover and leave it for 30 minutes. This is called autolyse. This will help in developing gluten better.
• Now add in remaining flour, water and salt. Mix well.
• Tip it on clean counter top and knead well for atleast 15 minutes.
• While kneading use up the 2 tbsp oil.
• You will find that the dough has become very soft and supple.
• Oil a bowl properly. Keep the dough in the bowl.
• Turn over the dough once so that it gets oiled all over.
• Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave it to double in size.
• This may take from an hour to two depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
• Meanwhile grease and dust an  8" square tin.
• Once the dough has doubled in size, remove it on the counter top.
• Very gently knead it for a minute.
• Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
• Each peace will weigh 50 gms approx.
• Take one piece, pull lightly from one corner and stick it to the center. Repeat from the remaining corners. This will help to tighten the surface.
• Now keeping the seem side down, cup it in your palm and roll on the counter to get a neat ball.
• Repeat the same with remaining pieces.
• Arrange these ball in the pan.
• Brush them with oil and cover with a cling film.
• Let them double in size. This will take anywhere between 30-45 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Before placing the tin in the oven brush the pav with milk.
• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or till they are nice and golden.
• Remove them to a wire rack. Brush with butter.
• Enjoy them warm with a spicy bhaji or potato vada.
