Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Bao Buns Recipe
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 packet of instant yeast. Gradually pour in 1 cup of warm milk while stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it proof for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Marinate 1 pound of savory beef in garlic, ginger, and your favorite spices for about 20 minutes. Heat a skillet and sear the beef for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 4 inches in diameter and place a spoonful of filling in the center.
- Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal and arrange the buns in a steamer lined with parchment paper. Steam over boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
