Gluten-Free Stuffed Buns (Bao): Dough, Baked Buns, Steamed Buns

I have poked and held enough loaves of gluten-free breads to know that it would be a challenge to create fluffy, chewy dough that could be baked and steamed. But knowing that Filipino cooks prepare a rice flour based dough for siopao (stuffed bao) gave me hope for creating gluten-free bao dough.

I ended up adapting a gluten-free Western cinnamon roll dough for the stuffed Asian buns. I tested out the dough with a char siu pork filling for these baked buns and steamed buns:

    

Gluten-free bao is not like what you get at dim sum but they do have a rustic appeal of their own. If you follow a gluten-free diet, I hope this satisfies your Chinese bao cravings. If you do not, this is a recipe that helps you better understand flours, starches, and dough. It was a cool experiment.

I’m structuring this trilogy of posts like the recipes in Asian Dumplings. There are three posts related to this subject on Viet World Kitchen:

• Gluten-Free Bun (Bao) Dough (in the lead post called "Gluten-Free Bun Trilogy")
• Baked Gluten-Free Bun (Bao) Recipe 
• Steamed Gluten-Free Bun (Bao) Recipe

If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
