Sourdough Ladi Pav

About this recipe

Ladi pav or pav bread is light and fluffy dinner rolls that are made with plain flour. Pav means bun and ladi in this case means 3-4 pav bread arranged together in a row. These delicate buns are perfect for pav-bhaji, vada-pav, misal-pav, and so on – which are the famous street foods of Mumbai. They are great for making toasts, sandwiches, and mini-burgers too. In fact, they are so tasty, you can have these fresh-out-of-the-oven buns just on their own. Nowadays, they are easily available in any store. But nothing can match the freshness of home-baked pav.

To get the perfect soft pav, it is very important to knead the dough well.  Also, it is really important to rest the dough. Even the second resting is important. Follow the step-by-step instructions to get the perfect ladi pav every time you make them.
