Ingredients
Milk - 100ml
Yeast - 1 Tsp
Sugar - Tbsp
Maida / Plain Flour - 125g / 1 Cup
Salt - Tsp
Milk Powder - 1 Tbsp / 9gms
Butter - 10 gms / 2 tsps
Milk & Butter - For Brushing
Salt - 2 Cups for Baking
Instructions
To the warm milk, add the sugar and the yeast. Stir and keep aside to proof for 10
mins.
In your working platform, place the flour, salt and the milk powder. Mix and make a
well in center.
Add the proofed yeast mixture, which would have been frothy so far. Get your hands
in and form this into a soft-pasty kind of dough. If the mixture does not turn out to
be soft and pasty-sticky consistency, add more milk to it and make it sticky and soft.
Add in the butter and start kneading it. Knead this by pushing the dough with heel
of your palm.. This is going to be very sticky and kind of paste like, but this is how it
is supposed to be. Just keep kneading and scraping once in a while for 15 minutes.
After about 15 mins of kneading, this will come together and would be more like a
dough than a sticky pasty mass.
Place this into a bowl with a lil bit of oil, coat the dough and the bowl with the oil,
cover with a damp cloth and let it proof for 1 hour or until doubled in a warm spot.
Once doubled in volume, punch and take the dough out, sprinkle a bit of flour and
knead for a minute.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. My dough weighed 245 grams. And I
portioned about 40gms each.
Smoothen out each portion by rolling them between your palm and fingers. Place
the shaped portions in a 6" square cake tin. You can make in a round one as well.
Cover the cake tin with a cloth and let the pavs proof for another hour or until well
risen.
For Baking without Oven, I recommend to use a large Pressure Cooker. Remove the
Rubber Gasket and Whistle.
Add 2 cups of salt, a wire stand and a perforated plate. Cover and heat in Medium-
High Flame. Quite on the higher side. Preheat for 10 minutes
Once the pavs are well risen, and are parallel or above to the tin's height. Brush
them with milk.
Using a tong, place the tin inside the cooker and quickly close the lid/cover. Bake
these for 15-18 minutes in Medium-High Flame. (Read Notes)
Take them out once they're baked well.. Brush the tops with butter. Now take a
damp cloth and cover the tin for a minimum of 30 minutes. (Read Notes)
Using a knife, loosen the sides and carefully take the pavs out..
Pavs are ready.. Freshness to vouch for - smells, looks, and tastes heavenly! Enjoy!
Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks / Cheese and Corn Stuffed
Garlic Bread Sticks
Ingredients
For Dough - Plain Flour - 1 Cup
Instant Yeast - Tsp
Sugar - 1 Tsp
Garlic Cloves - 8-10 {Chopped Fine/Minced}
Garlic Powder - Tsp
Onion Powder - Tsp
Salt - To Taste
Oil - 2 Tbsp
Oregano - Tsp
Basil - Tsp
Thyme - Tsp
Chili Flakes - Tsp
Instructions
For the dough : add the yeast and sugar to cup water and keep aside for 10 mins.
In a mixing bowl, add all the rest ingredients and mix well add the yeast and water mix and
make dough if needed add more warm water. Knead the dough for 5-6 mins.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel/cling warp and let it prove
for a hour or until its doubled.
For Spice Mix - Add all the ingredients in a mortar-pestle and pestle it down until well
combined and grounded for about 10-12 mins.
For making the breadsticks - After the dough has proved, take it out and place it in a corn
meal dusted surface and knead for a minute or two. Roll the dough out to 26cm diameter in
a corn meal dusted surface.
Spread mayonnaise in one side of the dough (in a semi circle way), get some cheddar
cheese in, followed by sweet corn kernels, jalapenos, a little of spice mix and mozzarella
cheese. Apply water in the edges and fold over. Press down the edges. Something like a
calzone it is so far. Transfer this to a tawa/pizza tray which is very well greased with butter.
Make slits in the bread at 1 inch difference to make the slits but just make slowly and dont
go to the bottom. Take butter and grease the bread with it. Sprinkle the spice mix over and
a little of oregano.
If you like more of bread structure, let it rest for 25-30 mins before baking. Otherwise bake
it right away at 200 C in a preheated oven for 20-25 mins or until its well baked.
Give your temptations a wait of 10 mins before slicing.. Slice and serve..
Notes
I usually add the spice mix in the dough instead of adding the oregano, basil, thyme, chili
flakes. Works both ways and taste awesome both ways.
