Bao's are Chinese Buns usually made during their New Years.
Bao means buns.These are ideally flat steam buns.They cook up very quickly and are amazingly pillow soft.
After two failed attempts,here my take on these Chinese Delicacy.
Please follow the exact measurements (please use a weighing scale)for those perfect Bao's.

Our dough has rised well.Look at the texture of the dough
11

Punch the dough to remove all the air bubbles and roll the dough till 1 inch thick disc.Pour some oil and spread it

With the help of a small bowl 8 inches diameter preferred.Make roundels on the rolled dough.Cut them and then gently fold each rolled disc
13

Place the folded bao on the steamer placed on the butter paper and let then rose for another 30 mins.After 30 mins the buns have rised well
14

Boil water and place our steamer over it.Cover the baos with a lid covered in napkin so the water droplets frm the steam.do not fall on the baos.Steam for exact 12 mins and then close the stove and let the baos rest in the steamer for 5 mins.Repeat for test of the baos
15

Our baos have steams well and have fluffed up too
16

The steamed buns are very soft.When we open them, they easily open up.This is because we had applied oil before folding them.

Now take our chicken filling and fill it in the Baos
