Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Gluten Free Bao
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually pour in warm water while stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- While the dough rises, mix your ground pork or chicken with soy sauce, chopped green onions, fresh ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and divide it into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and flatten it.
- Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal tightly.
- Line your steamer tray with parchment paper. Place each filled bun on the parchment, ensuring there's space between them.
- Bring water to a boil in your steamer and steam the buns for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and fluffy.

Notes
Knead gently to maintain an airy texture. Always pinch edges securely to prevent leaks. Avoid overcrowding the steamer for even cooking.
