Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually pour in warm water while stirring until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- Transfer the sticky dough to a clean, floured surface. Knead it gently for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the ground pork or chicken, low-sodium soy sauce, chopped green onions, minced fresh ginger, and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide it into equal portions and roll each piece into a ball, then flatten each into a circle.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges together, sealing them tightly.
- Line a steamer basket with parchment paper and arrange the filled buns on it, giving them space to expand. Preheat your steamer over medium heat.
- Place the steamer basket over simmering water and cover with a lid. Steam the Gluten Free Bao for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fluffy and shiny.
