Take out the dough on the clean dusted counter or kneading platform,
Add soft butter and keep kneading till you get a smooth and soft dough.
3 tbsp Softened Butter
Once you get soft and smooth dough, keep it in a well-oiled bowl, cover with a cling film/damp cloth. Keep the dough to rise, for first proofing.
First proofing will take about 45 mins to 1 hr, depending on the temperature of the place.
Once the dough has doubled, punch and deflate it, knead lightly and form a log.
Divide the dough into 12-15 equal pieces, arrange in baking pan(square one preferred). Keep some space between the dough balls as these will rise.
It will take another hour for the second proofing. Depending on the weather, check the rolls after 30 mins, if the rolls are proofed pre-heat the oven to 400°F or 200°C.
Once the rolls are proofed baked at 400°F or 200°C for 12-15 mins.
Pav bread will bake to beautiful light brown color. Take out of the oven and cool on wire rack.
Do not leave in the baking pan as pavs will get wet due to condensation.
