You'll need

  • All-purpose flour 280–300 g2¼–2⅓ cups10–10½ oz;
  • Instant yeast 3 g1 tsp;
  • Butter (melted) 28 g2 tbsp;
  • Water (lukewarm) 120 g½ cup;
  • Milk 60 g¼ cup;
  • Sugar 12 g3 tsp;
  • Salt 4–5 g¾ tsp

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar and yeast. Let it rest for until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, milk and melted butter. Knead into a soft dough.

    Our tip Knead for a good 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and springy. Keep the dough soft and slightly tacky rather than adding more flour, since a stiff dough bakes into dense pav.

  3. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into smooth balls.
  4. Place the shaped dough balls in a greased baking tray, keeping them slightly close to each other.
  5. Cover and let them proof in the same tray until doubled in size OR move the SmartSwitch to COMBI COOKER mode, select PROVEPROOF, and set time for .

    Our tip If you use ProveProof, set up as in steps 6 and 7 first: water in the Combi pan, crisper plate, then the tray. The water keeps the air moist so the dough doesn't dry out, and the tray is ready to bake.

  6. Once proofed, prepare the unit: pour 200 ml1 cup water into the combi pan.
  7. Place the crisper plate over the combi pan, then place the baking tray with proofed dough on top.
  8. Close the door, select COMBI BAKE, set temperature to 180*C and time to . Press START/STOP to begin cooking.

    Our tip On Combi Bake the 12 minutes count down only after steam has built up, which takes about 20 minutes. Until then the display shows progress bars.

  9. Once baked, remove the tray carefully and brush pav with butter.
  10. Serve warm.
