For a quick breakfast fix, homemade buns are ideal. Bake them on the weekend and eat them throughout the week. It is healthier than store-bought ones. You can create buns out of leftover pizza dough or use the same dough for the pizza base. Breakfast is a breeze with bread buns. The soup goes well with soft dinner rolls. Make a Kutchi dabheli with it, or serve it with butter and curry/pav bhaji.
Buttered buns with strawberry preserves or spicy marmalade are my favorite. The same as Paddington. You can also add your favorite spices and herbs to give it a unique flavor. Enjoy the pav dish with some fried bonda in between as vada pav if you want a classic Bombay variation. It’s ideal for a train ride or a picnic.
It’s simple to create homemade buns. These homemade rolls are fluffy soft bread that you will fall in love with again and again once you create your own. You can add sesame seeds or chia seeds to your dinner buns to make them more interesting. You can also play around with different flours. Nothing beats the aroma of freshly made bread.
Enjoy it in Marathi style as bun maska, pav bhaji, misal, and pav, usal. If you enjoy the Gujarati twist, serve it as pav gathia. The homemade pav recipe will make you appreciate these snacks even more. Alternatively, traditional blueberry or strawberry jam/orange marmalade can be used. Just wash it down with a large glass of ‘masala chai.’

How can you make your bread more fiber-rich?
There are several methods for increasing the fiber content of buns or bread.
- Fiber-rich flour, such as whole-wheat flour/atta, should be used. Because this flour is heavier than normal flour, you may need to increase the amount of yeast by 20% and use a little extra water/oil.
- Add more ingredients, such as a flaxseed meal. 1 cup of plain flour has about 3.4 gms of fiber, but 1 cup of wholemeal flour has 11 gms. Flax seeds have about 2 grams of fiber per tablespoon. As a result, adding 3 tablespoons of flax seeds to plain flour can help you achieve a fiber content similar to whole wheat flour.
- Use a combination of the above two, as shown in the recipe below.
What is the best way to make golden brown buns? How do you create a pavlova? This is an excellent suggestion.
Most bakeries, I’ve noticed, utilize an egg wash to get that shining top on their buns, croissants, or bread. However, you may achieve comparable results without using an egg by combining 1 tablespoon melted butter with 1 tablespoon warm milk and brushing the buns after they are done, then keeping them in the hot oven for 2 minutes or more.
What is the best way to prepare pav at home?
- Use warm water and sugar to activate the yeast.
- In a bowl of warm water, dissolve the flax seed meal.
- Begin to knead the dough.
- Let it rise for 30 minutes before punching it down.
- Roll the dough into round balls of the same size and place them in a baking tray to rise.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180C once the dough has risen (after 30 minutes) (fan-forced)
- Knock on the tops of the buns to see whether they are ready; if they sound hollow, they are.
In an air fryer, how do you make eggless buns?
- Make equal-sized round balls and place them in a baking tray to rise.
- Bake in a preheated air fryer at 180C (bake/roast option) for 15 minutes or until hollow when tapped on the top once it has risen (after 30 minutes).
- Brush the tops with the butter/milk mixture and set them to cool completely.
