Method
Bao Buns Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add warm water and vegetable oil, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Buns
Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 12). Roll each piece into a circle, place a spoonful of pork filling and a small amount of pickled cabbage in the center, then fold and pleat the dough to seal.
Steam the Buns
Place the filled buns on parchment paper squares in a steamer. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.
