Today we are making the Chinese Bao Buns/ Gua Bao! I’ve wanted to make this bao buns recipe for a little while now and I finally got to make them! I made these Chinese buns by hand this time, but you can make them in a stand mixer with a dough hook and save yourself a lot of time and a sore arm! Let me show you how to make the bao dough and then you can fill these steamed buns with whatever you like or steam them on make a bao sandwich!
Hope you enjoy my simple, easy, handmade Bao Buns Recipe!
