Method
Step 1
Mix the milk, sugar and yeast and let it sit for 10 mins and then add the flour, egg and salt.
Step 2
Slowly add the butter, one cube at a time, and keep mixing the dough.
Step 3
Once all ingredients are mixed, knead the dough for 10 mins and cover to prove for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Step 4
In the meantime, make the filing by heating oil in a non-stick pot and frying the onions until brown.
Step 5
Next add the garlic and bell peppers and sauté for another 5-6 mins and then add the butter, pav bhaji masala, salt and tomatoes and cook until oil starts to separate.
Step 6
Garnish with cilantro and set aside to cool completely.
Step 7
Grease a loaf pan with butter and set aside.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, deflate it and divide into 12 roundels. Flatten each roundel with a rolling pin into a 5 inch circle and spread about 1 tbsp of the filling leaving a little border around.
Step 9
Top that with some cheese and then fold over to make a semi circle sealing around the edges.
Step 10
Place this piece in the loaf pan and continue to repeat with the remaining dough balls, stacking each filled semi circle in the loaf pan.
Step 11
Cover the loaf pan and set aside to rise again for around 30-40 mins to rise and then bake at 350F for about 35 mins.
Step 12
As soon as the bread is out of the oven, generously brush with salter butter and set aside to cool, loosely covered with a piece of foil.
Step 13
Serve warm or at room temperature!
