In reply to Jay. Yes, you can use bread flour too. You'll need a little more water for the dough and the end result will be a little chewier.

I made this recipe before with plain flour as directed and it was delicious! I only have bread flour but I dug this recipe up as I remember it being delicious – could I use bread flour for this? Or do you reccomend only using plain flour?

I have now cooked your Baked Bao Buns with lamb twice. Last week I got closer to a good dough! I have found them a good main and an excellent entree.
I am girding myself up to steam them rather than bake them1
I have found that I can prepare the lamb and the vegetable components the night before, which means I can concentrate on the dough when I am assembling them!
I also have arthritis in my hands so hand-forming of the bao is not a goer. The nice thing about the rolled discs is that they are elastic. Spooning the filling into the dough disc on the bench and then drawing it up and pleating it with my fingers creates something that looks like yours!

The lamb baked bao buns were superb. Cooked to recipe instructions. i’ve just got to get better at making the dough! The “par-freeze/slice/dice” advice makes that process really easy. The taste of the filling was yummy. The Home-made Chilli Oil made using your recipe a few weeks ago was a lovely condiment for them.
Thanks Wei

In reply to Dillan. You don't need to precook the lamb. Just follow the same recipe and steam them for about 18 mins. Happy cooking!

If I use the chopped lamb filling and I want to just steam them instead of baking, should I precook the filling first?

In reply to Stephanie. Yes Stephanie! As I mentioned in the Q&A section in the post, You can steam them using my method for “Steamed Bao Buns” or fry them using my method for “Shanghai Pan-fried Pork Buns”

Hello there! I was wondering if you can steam them in a steamer as well?
