Bun Buns

-

 Yes, bun buns, as we had started calling my little princess. 

Actually her sleep cycle took ages to settle down, ditto with these buns. So, the name struck...😆

Well, when I started the "breade-thon" pavs really took time to crack. And I see, that with each batch it keeps getting better and better. So in this awesome weather right now, rains and clouds and so much greenery, its the right time for some Mumbai style vada pavs. 

So, today I decided to repeat my baked vada pav session. However after baking half the batch, I thought may be I can fry a few vadas, as pavs are baked anyways 😈. Finally ended up frying half of the vadas. Obviously it tasted better. So, we had the spread of both, baked and fried - Balance!! Right!! 

Well check out this recipe - and you will love it. 


Bread Flour - 550 gms

Sugar - 1 tsp

Milk Powder - 2 tsp

Malt powder - 1 tsp

Salt - 1.5 tsp

Yeast - 2.5 tsp

Unsalted butter - 2 tbsp

Lukewarm Milk - 110 ml

Lukewarm Water - 100 ml

Extra Flour - 20 gms

                             First prepare the yeast. In half the quantity of milk put Malt powder, sugar and Yeast. Keeps aside for 10 minutes. 

                             In a bowl mix flour, salt, milk powder. After 10 minutes, add the yeast milk, water and other part of milk. Mix all of it together. Take butter and knead the dough with it. Here we can use little extra flour if dough is wet. At this stage its just that everything should come together. Leave it for 2 hrs.

                          After 2 hrs take out the dough and shape it. Keep it in your pan leaving a little space in between. This is for plain pav. For baked vada pav, add potato mix ball in the center of each ball and roll it in to a circle. Now, keep all these shaped pavs in the trey for 20 mintues.

                         Now, before keeping the trey in the oven, brush milk on the top of pavs. It helps in browning the top well. For baked vada pavs I had put some seeds too. I have become a fan of these seeds as it looks so good on baked things. However, the kiddos at home don't approve of this, sfor them it is without seeds, n normal pavs!! 

                         Once out, keep them for around 15-20 to cool down. And then they are ready to have....


Shaped, and to be kept for 20 minutes.
If , you have make filling, then do like this and make a round shape to close it.
These are the plain ones, ready!!

Delicious .....


These are with filling....Vada pavs

 Amongst many other things people learnt during this lock down - is introspection! 😈😆.  I think that was the best thing to learn. It made everyone a lot calmer and non judgemental about many issues we face on day to day basis. Biggest example being the house help not cleaning things properly on a regular basis 😬.  Then I observed with no help when I started doing it, my best move was, making short cuts 3rd day onwards....😝.  So, just going to and fro with these thoughts, I thought about our moms generation who had just stepped out to work. Everything was under their forte - their new portfolio - a job, and expected portfolio - children plus household work! There was no option of outsourcing much, and surprisingly no complaints too!!  And, here we are,  the privileged ones!!  Well, with these threads I stepped into the kitchen...and today whipped up the amazing strawberry pie!  Amazing! Yes!! anything and everything with fresh fruits would be s...

So, when it all started - Kids were a little confused!  Is it possible that we cannot order from outside - and why?  Weekends were like - at least (l repeat “at the least!!) one meal coming from outside, and rest of the time in-house help to cook anything  😬 . And we all have gotten used to of this lifestyle for many moons now.  It was different during our times - yea yea yea blah blah blah - “same old grannies story  😅 ” - that’s my daughter’s reaction!! So, won’t repeat it here  😆 .  Anyways, keeping in mind, that junk food as it is, is a concern, I tried to play it well with the safety issues sixer!!  So the stories - “and they were/are true” - about how it’s not safe to order at all, went down, pretty well.  Say, It’s the need of the hour, and, it also solved my underlying concern - “no junk food.”  😇   In Hindi we have that phrase for it - “Ek teer do nishaane.”  😶😝 Wow!! What a bliss it was - for initial 2 days!!...
