Bun Pao/Pav

Bun pav is another variety of bread/pav from Mumbai bakeries. It's a soft bread studded with orange candied peels. When I came across some recipes of Portuguese Sweet Breads, I thought, they may turn into decent bun pavs. I chose the recipe with minimum amount of butter and eggs. Next time, I will try to see if I can even make it eggless.

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups organic bread flour
• 1 package dry yeast

Method
1. Add all the ingredients in your bread maker per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Choose "Dough" cycle.

3. Take the dough out and place in a greased container. Cover with a wet cotton napkin. Allow to rise for 1 hour.

4. Punch it down. Make 10 balls. Place them in a greased baking tray. Place a raisin or orange candied peel on top of each roll.

5. Cover and let them rise for 1 hour.

6. Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake for 15 - 16 minutes.

7. Serve with warm milk or hot tea.

Note -

1. Instead of making rolls you can make a bread loaf. For that, choose sweet bread cycle of the bread maker instead of dough cycle.
