         Title: Pav (Buttery Eggless Dinner Rolls)   
    Categories: Breads, Indian   
         Yield: 8 Pav   
       
         3 c  Flour   
       1/2 ts Kosher salt   
         3 tb Unsalted butter; melted   
     2 1/2 ts Active dry yeast   
       1/4 c  Water; lukewarm,   
              - for frothing the yeast   
     1 1/2 tb Honey; sugar, or maple sugar   
         1 c  Milk; luke warm,   
              - up to 1-1/4 c,   
              - or as required for   
              - kneading the dough   
              Flour; for dusting   
              Butter; melted,   
              - for brushing on top   
       
     If using a combination of flours, sift them once to mix thoroughly.   
     Dissolve yeast in luke warm water mixed with honey and set aside until   
     frothy.   
        
     Note:   
        
     If you dont see foam within 30 seconds of dissolving the yeast,   
     discard the mix & restart.   
        
     While the yeast is frothing, in a large bowl (enough to hold doubled   
     up dough after rise), tip in the salt. Top it up with flour, melted   
     butter, and foamy yeast paste in this order. Start mixing in lukewarm   
     milk until everything comes together.   
        
     Note: Start with 1/2 cup of milk to begin with.   
        
     Once a loose dough ball starts to come together, transfer the dough   
     to a floured surface, and continue kneading for 5 to 8 minutes until   
     you get a soft, elastic dough. While kneading, if you feel that the   
     dough is on the dry side, add 1 tb(s) of milk. If it feels sticky,   
     add some flour to bring it together. Brush some oil on all sides of   
     the bowl, and once kneaded, transfer the dough back to the bowl.   
     Brush some oil on the top of the dough ball, cover the bowl with a   
     damp cloth and set aside in a warm, dry place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours to   
     rise. Spray your baking sheet with some cooking spray or line with   
     parchment. Once risen, punch down the dough with your knuckles &   
     knead again for 5 minutes. Divide into equal 8 to 10 portions of the   
     ball size you desire. Next, moisten your palms with some oil, take   
     one portion at a time and roll it up into a dough ball, tightly   
     kneading in between your palms.   
        
     Note:   
        
     Kneading between the palms creates friction which gives the rolls a   
     great texture after baking.   
        
     Line the dough balls side by side about 1" part on the baking sheet   
     and set aside again to rise, about 20 to 30 minutes. After rising,   
     the sides of the dough balls with touch each other, but dont worry,   
     we'll bake the whole thing as a pull apart loaf. While the dough   
     balls are rising, preheat your oven to 375?F (190?C). After the   
     second rise, bake the dough balls for 15 to 18 minutes or until the   
     top is starting to turn brown. You can use a skewer to test if they   
     are baked from inside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350?F   
     (175?C). Take out the baking sheet, brush the pavs with some melted   
     butter and bake for another 2 to 5 minutes. Bake until the top is   
     golden. This melted butter brushed on top gives the pavs the typical   
     bakery "brownish" look & adds great flavor too.   
        
     Once baked, remove the baking sheet from oven.Let the pavs sit for 5   
     minutes in the baking sheet itself. Using tongs, transfer to a wire   
     rack to cool. Once cooled completely, store in an air tight box lined   
     with cloth until ready to use. When ready to serve, serve whole (this   
     is how I like them) as it is.   
        
     Alternatively (this is traditional way of serving ), using a sharp   
     knife, slice the balls in half and brush some more butter on the   
     bread side and lightly brown on a hot skillet, tawa, or grill.   
        
     Serve warm with bhaji (spicy vegetable mash).
