These Gua Bao buns are fluffy and white, perfect for holding juicy pork belly—absolutely delicious! While Gua Bao are easy to buy, making them at home is simple and even fresher and tastier!

2

Mix the instant dry yeast, sugar, and 3 1/2 tablespoons water (50 milliliters) together. Let sit for 15 minutes.
3

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast mixture, and baking powder. Add the remaining water and vegetable oil, and mix to form a dough.
4

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead by hand for about 8 minutes, or until the surface is smooth. (The dough will be a bit sticky but still easy to handle. Only add more flour if it's too wet.)
5

Put the dough in a greased large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. (It may take longer in winter.)
6

Punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out to about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick. Cut out circles.
7

Brush a layer of oil on each dough circle (this helps the buns open easily after steaming), fold in half, and gently roll with a rolling pin. Place on parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8

Place the buns in a steamer and steam over high heat for 12 minutes.
