My notes
Since we make a sticky dough adapting the autolyse technique, there is not a lot kneading.
It smoothes rapidly than the common technique and yields softer outcomes similar to for those who use a stand mixer or knead longer.
However you must deal with initially with spatula and later mud the work floor generously.
After first elevate, use moist fingers for simple dealing with. In any other case it will likely be a catastrophe.
Additionally form completely with flour to keep away from stickiness. If it sticks to arms, you possibly can’t make an ideal form in addition to the form will not be good after second elevate.
I truly took longer to assemble the buns concentrating on equal weighing. You possibly can eyeball for a lot faster assemble.

My makes an attempt
I attempted half-hour first rise and 10 minutes second rise and under is the consequence.
Was pleased with the appears for the actual fact it’s underneath 1 hour ladi pav. However it was barely denser. Higher for a similar day consumption.
Verdict
My vote is for longer second rise for gentle and ethereal tender ladi pav buns.
I additionally thought I may do a 3 cups measurement recipe utilizing 8 inch pan as it is going to give extra taller buns.
I didn’t mud correctly and make the ladi pav easy the second batch. So be sure that correctly tuck every bun easy & tight.
