Ingredients

For the Bao: Two cups all-purpose flour, one tbsp instant dry yeast, four tbsp sugar, half tsp baking powder, 1/2 baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, ¾ cup water [you can use about 4-5 tbsp more], two tbsp oil for brushing the bowl.

Step 2: then, cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for 90-120 mins. Once rested, roll it out about the thickness of stuffed paratha. Now, cut them into 3inch rounds. Then, brush the circles with oil.

Step 3: Now, close them in half and roll them very gently. Then, place on butter paper and let it rest for 30 more minutes. Next, get your steamer ready and steam the Bao for about 8-10mins. If you do them any longer then the Bao will dry. Once your bao is ready, add the stuffing and garnish it.
