Here’s a pro tip for ease of pleating: After you roll out each portion of dough into a flat round, place the round into a small bowl (or even use a muffin tin) so that it naturally forms a cup shape, then put the filling in and pleat (still sitting in the muffin tin), then turn the bun out of the tin or bowl and let rise as directed. It’s a lot easier to pleat the dough over the filling when you don’t have to hold the whole bun in your hand while you pleat.

In reply to Con. Yes, best to knead all the air bubbles out after the 1st proofing to avoid the bubbles.

I just used my personal gf flour blend in this recipe and the dough works like a dream. It’s so nice smooth fluffy pliable so so SO easy to work with. Came out lovely (I kneaded with my hands and it came out a little bubbly but I’m certain that was me not working it enough)

Thank you for the great recipe. My son wanted Bao for a very long time and 15 min kneading time was daunting for me. So got a new mixer and tried this recipe first. It came out good and everything was perfect. We replaced pork with chicken. This will be our new go to recipe. Thanks again.

In reply to Vera. This dough is chewy, and the steamed BBQ bun dough is more fluffy, see how you like it :-)

In reply to Vera. Yes, you can. You can try our ginger carrot buns for the pan-frying method.

In reply to Vera. I was also wondering if one of the recipes could be adapted the pan fry the buns instead of steaming them?

Hello, I was looking for pork bao recipes and I found this one as well as your steamed bbq pot bun recipe. I was wondering what the main differences are? The doughs are pretty similar and the filling is similar, but I’m guessing they’re not the same.
