Hi guys! Awesome job on the stollen, they looked delicious!This month we hope you will be as excited as we are for steamed buns, also known as Bao! Steamed buns are made with a soft, fluffy dough that is wrapped around a filling (usually containing meat) and steamed. These are great appetizer, snack, dinner, whenever food - and they also freeze (unsteamed) well!If you are looking for a recipe, I suggest checking out this site and this site, and of course, check out our monthly Pinterest Board where we have saved many recipes for you to look through! As always, you can fill and flavor these any way you want, but we do ask that you remember to include your sourdough starter in the dough!
