Zaatar & Cheese Buns | Perfect Ladi Pav
PERFECT BUNS
I made with 3 types of fillings. Zaatar, Cheese and Chocolate. But they can be enjoyed plain too, with olive oil or herbed butter.
Ingredients:
1 tsp yeast
1 -2 tsp sugar
¼ cup warm water
2 ¼ cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
1 egg
125 ml milk
3 tbsp butter (softened)
Method:
Mix sugar to warm water. Sprinkle yeast. Let it bloom for about 10 mins.
Add flour, salt and baking powder in a big bowl. Add rest of the ingredients, along with bloomed yeast. Knead to a soft dough. No need to add extra water
Dough will be very sticky. Add little flour if needed. Once done, apply little oil in the palm and knead nicely with the force of the palms, to activate gluten.
Make a bowl, with fold slides down. Apply little oil in the bowl and keep to rest in the bowl with cling wrap. Leave to rest for 1-2 hours till it doubles in size.
Knock off the air and then divide into 8-9 small balls. Shape each ball and place in a baking tray to rise again.
Add fillings at this stage and then place back in the pan. Apply egg wash and put in a preheated oven at 180 for 15-20 mins, till golden brown.
