Made with a mix of flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, bao buns and oil, the bao is a tad sweeter than its closely related cousin, the dumpling.

Renowned for being light and fluffy, the perfect bao should be light, round and soft. It is more commonly known to be filled with pork, however, as the bao bun has become more popular worldwide, the bao bun fillings have become much more diverse. Let’s take a look at some of the fillings that you can serve with your bao dough. Looking for a simple way to make Bao Buns? What can you serve with bao?

The bao is a little sweeter than your average bread bun, therefore we tend to use fillings that will balance out the flavours and make it into a more savoury, delicious snack. So, wok can you serve with bao? When it comes to what to serve with bao, the world really is your oyster, however, as we mentioned, some may opt for the most common filling for bao which is the bbq pork, with a light and sticky sauce to accompany. Others may try beef, fish, or glazed mushrooms as a savory snack and chocolate for a sweeter dessert! Due to bao dough’s amazing versatility, how healthy your bao buns are is largely up to you! Whether you fancy indulging in a less than traditional dessert, like the chocolate bao, or if you would like a lighter vegetarian-based bao – the decision is in your hands. Do bao buns have gluten in?

However, the bao recipe is transferable and if you suffer from any intolerances you can substitute out the ingredients to suit your requirements when making from scratch.
