Homemade Whole Wheat Pav Recipe is a bread that was brought down by the Portuguese. From then it came to be called in various names like pao, Mumbai Ladi pav or Bombay pav.

They are traditionally made with maida or all-purpose flour. The pave can also be made with whole wheat flour too. But based on the ingredients the texture changes. By using whole wheat flour, the pav will turn out to be denser and bit chewy. The recipe uses yeast to rise the dough and it rested for few hours in order to get the soft and airy texture.
