Great recipe and wonderful result! The bao dough is the easiest I have worked with and these disappeared quickly! Thank you – I look forward to trying more recipes and building my repertoire of dim sum dishes.

In reply to San. Unfortunately, rice flour won't work for this recipe.

I used to love these buns and bought them often when I was living in Paris; now based in a smaller city, I can’t get my hands on baos for an affordable price, hence today’s attempt. My buns’ shaping lacked experience, but their texture was dreamy, fluffy, exactly like the buns I was craving! Thanks a lot for this recipe- bookmarked!

Your dough is excellent!! I actually used a little whole wheat cake and pastry flour, just for an added flavour and it worked nicely. Also I did put more than a tablespoon of filling… we like filling. Your instructions are also very good. Made my own filling and it tasted the same. Did not need to buy the seasoning or special pork as I used my own that was in the freezer, marinating in BBQ pork mixture.
