Notes

  • Proofing yeast is very important. Very hot milk or water will kill yeast and cold milk or water will not activate yeast. So the temperature should be warm (lukewarm).
  • Kneading is the key to perfect pavs. Kneading develops gluten and makes the dough soft and elastic. You can also use a food processor with dough making blade to knead the dough.
  • When you first remove the pav from the oven they might feel hard on the top. They will be super soft as they cool down. Also brushing the top with butter softens the pavs.
