WHOLE WHEAT BUN (PAU)
Whole Wheat Bun or what we call as Pau in India. Trust me, lockdown makes you do any
and everything. With all my daily chores, studies, professional duties – Just out
of my love and desire to have sumptuous & different food everyday , I end
up making some or the other new dish. Today I am making a famous Gujarati Dish
called SEV USAL. This dish is made of dried peas, sev (which is fried snack
made of Gram flour) and yes definitely needs PAU.
Sharing my recipe with of Whole Wheat Bun with you…
Ingredients –
Whole Wheat Flour – 2 cups
Sugar – 2 tbsp
Active dry yeast – 1 tbsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Oil – 2 tbsp
Warm water – Approximately 1 cup
You can also add flavours of choice like thyme, pepper,
mixed herbs, garlic powder etc as well to make it amazing and tasty.
Method –
1.
In a small bowl, add around ¼ cup warm water,
yeast and 1 tbsp sugar. Mix this and cover. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes for
yeast to activate. The other steps shall only follow if the yeast activates and
raises well.
2.
In a big bowl in which you shall knead the dough,
put the wheat floor. Make a well in the centre.
3.
In this well, add salt, remaining 1 tbsp sugar,
oil and the yeast mixture. Mix well and knead a dough with warm water.
4.
Dough should be lose one – almost like the one
made for Fulka rotis.
5.
Grease the bowl and place the dough in centre. Cover
with cloth and rest for 50 mintues – it will double up. Or might even proofing
more than double
6.
Sprinkle the flour on floor and place the dough
on this. Knead the dough for 15-20 minutes till it gets non sticky and outer
layer is smooth.
7.
Now cut the dough into equal small portions and
make into small balls, pinching all cracks and smoothening the outer layer
8.
Grease a tin which is 4” inch. Now place the balls
close to each other leaving 1 cm gap in between all the dough balls.
9.
Brush milk on these and sprinkle sesame seeds on
this. Cover with cloth and let it sit for 40 – 50 minutes. The buns will rise
up to tin’s upper level or even more.
10.
Preheat the oven at 200 degree celcius and bake
for 18-20 minutes. Upper crust will be nice red brown in color.
11.

and over with damp cloth. Let the bun cool down totally
