Dinner Rolls (Indian Pav)

Dinner Rolls are commonly known as Pav in India and are used to make delicious recipes, mostly snacks like vada pav, pav bhaji and so on. In this recipe I have not used any eggs as I prefer eggless baking but always remember perfect baking always needs patience.

Time it takes:

Prep.time: 1:40 hrs

Cooking time: 20-25 minutes

Total time: 2 hrs (approx.)

• Dough will rise within this 1 hour.
• Next take a dough and again knead it for 5 minutes to make light dinner rolls/pav.
• Divide dough to six equal parts and make balls.
• Place them into baking tray , keep distance between the balls giving them space for another rise.

• Bake them in oven for 20-25 minutes at temperature of 180 degree C or 200 degree F.
• Keep a close eye while baking and remove the tray from oven once you get golden brown colour.

Quick Tips:

1. Oven temperature should not be too high otherwise, your rolls won't get cooked from middle and will be undercooked.
2. Keep checking in between so that you don't over bake them.
3. If you think 180 degree temperature is little high for your tray material , turn it low by 75 degree.
