Soft as a pillow Pav or ladi pav is nothing but the Indian name for white bread rolls. These roll are not exactly round, they appear a bit squarish and therefore the name ladi, meaning slab. Pav is used widely in most homes and by fast food outlets. Its used for the pav bhaji , vada pav, egg buns, or served with any curry etc. I love toasting the pav with a dollop of butter or ghee on a pan or tawa and having it with hot masala tea. The bun is toasted  with the cut side on the pan,till it is slightly brown and crispy. So you have a soft top but a crunchy bottom. Yummy. Most ready pavs sold in India are sickly sweet. I have reduced the amount of sugar. These rolls are slightly different from the basic white dinner rolls because it has more butter in it. Therefore you get a nice buttery and  slightly salty taste. They turn out very soft and it's an ideal sort of bread to wipe the curry off your plate! I didn't have a smaller tray and the one I used was too big to place 12 buns. ...
