Laadi Pav/Eggless Pav Recipe .

Today's post is Mumbai's famous pav .Pav Maska thats bread and butter with cup of tea is a famous breakfast for most of them here in Mumbai. People love having  kadak aka Brun pav and Soft white bread also called as Pav. 6 breads/loaves together makes one laadi hence its called laadi pav.
I have grown up eating this pav with kheema/vada or even a simple pav patties /masala pav.I have been to many cities but  I have not seen or tasted breads like we get here in Bombay. Well these breads are cheap enough and readily available in bakeries and general stores but when you can bake your own bread why wait to buy breads from out.
I have been enjoying baking breads and buns past few years and the joy of having fresh baked breads straight from the oven is incomparable.So here's the recipe to make soft fluffy pavs at home.
