Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degree C.
- Measure all the ingredients and set aside.
- Take the yeast, sugar and 40 - 50 ml of the measured water in bowl and let it sit for a min or so (till we see little bubbles forming)
- Sieve the maida on the platform, add the yeast & sugar solution to it and start kneading.
- Add the salt and continue kneading.
- Add water little by little and knead till the dough becomes a thick mass, at this stage add the butter and knead the dough till all the butter is incorporated into the dough.
- Continue kneading and add water little by little till the dough becomes nice and soft and spongy.
- At this stage, place the soft dough inside or under a bigger vessel and let it rest for 10 - 15 mins.
- Once the dough is rested, knock out or remove the air in dough by flattening the dough with hand.
- Roll the dough into a thick sausage and cut 6 equal portions and set aside.
- Grease a 8 inch cake mold with oil or butter.
- Roll each portion of dough into round balls and place them as shown in the pic...
- Sprinkle the rosemary & chilli flakes on the rolls and rest them again in the same mold in a warm place for 15-25 mins or till the rolls double & puff up in size as shown in Pic... ( I kept the mold inside a switched off microwave, guess kitchen cupboard should also be fine).
- Once they have risen nicely, brush the top of the rolls with milk or eggs and bake for 10 -15 mins or till they get a nice brown colour.
- Once they are baked, remove from oven and set aside to cool. Brush the hot rolls with some butter..yumm...
- Once they have cooled for 5-10 mins, try and slowly remove the rolls out of the mold and place them on a tissue or butter paper (this will ensure that there is no collection of moisture at the bottom of the rolls and it does nor become too wet).
- Eat as a pav or with some olive oil or as is...enjoy!
