We’ve been obsessed with Bao buns for a while and we wanted to give our takeaway favourite a go ourselves. We used @corazonfood’s to make these fluffy gluten free bao buns, filling them with our slow cooked BBQ Pulled Pork for a fakeaway for all the family.
Gluten Free Pulled Pork Bao Buns
Recipe Details
Ingredients
- 1 pack of Jolly Hog BBQ Pulled Pork
- 300g gluten free flour
- 1 pack dried yeast
- Pinch of salt
- 200ml lukewarm water
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 Carrots
- 1 bunch of spring onions
Method
- For the buns, mix together 300g gluten free flour, 1 pack of dried yeast, 1 pinch of salt and 200ml of lukewarm water. Mix into a dough. Add a little more water if the dough feels too dry.
- Leave the dough in a bowl in a warm place and cover with a tea towel. Leave to rise for a couple of hours until doubled in size.
- Place a pack of our Pulled Pork in the oven & cook according to pack instructions.
- Form small balls with the dough once risen & cut baking paper into rectangles.
- Roll out the balls into oval ‘bao shapes’ & then put a piece of baking paper in between each one, folded on itself.
- Use a bamboo basket or steamer if you have one (or you can put a colander above a sauce pan with a small amount of water in it. This works fine as long as you have a lid that fits the colander & pan).
- Leave them for 8 mins to steam. Don’t open the lid even though you are curious to see how they are getting along.
- Whilst they’re steaming, chop spring onions & cucumber & grate carrots to add into the buns.
- Remove the buns from the steamer and fill with the pulled pork, vegetables and any sauce of your liking. Tuck in!
