Bao

EverydayCooked

Bao is a traditional Chinese steamed bun made from leavened wheat flour dough, characterized by its fluffy, pillowy texture and slightly sweet flavor. Typically served as a handheld meal or snack, cooked bao often contains savory fillings like braised pork or vegetables, though sweet variations also exist. While providing a substantial source of carbohydrates, its nutritional profile varies significantly depending on the filling, and the wheat-based dough makes it unsuitable for gluten-free diets.
