Hi
There are various factors Pav or bread get cracks and crusty. Cracks are may be due to long rising period i.e dough is rising more than its double in volume and too much kneading also will take effect.
Meanwhile don't cool the bread on draft which will cause more cracks. After baking the bread or pav. turn out of the pans and cool on a wire rack away from the draft.
For more infomartion about it please check out this link.

Hope this will help and happy cooking.
Hi,
Tried yesterday this recipe! Are you sure it is 1 1/2 cups of water listed in your ingredients for pav? The flour became all watery 🙁 pls let me know where have I gone wrong.
Divya
Hi Divya,
I guess it may be couple of reasons because the recipe above is foolproof one and I tried it several time.. In your case it may be yeast or the humidity in the room or even the temperature of the water was slightly off. If the dough is too sticky, add in a little flour until the dough becomes the consistency as shown in above ictures. Try again and post your feedback..Hope this will help. Any queries, please feel free to ask.
amazing very helpful article dear...thanks for sharing infor About Pa bhaji...keep updating.. 🙂
I came across your blog while looking for some Indian food recipes and liked a lot. How amazing! I will keep an eye out for all your recipes 🙂
looks absolutely delicious.
