Method

- Gradually add the flour and knead until smooth.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Divide the risen dough into 3 equal balls. Let them rest for 40 minutes.
- Roll each ball into a circle about 1 cm thick. Place a small piece of parchment paper on one half, then fold the other half over to form a half-moon shape, using the paper to prevent sticking.
- Steam the baos over boiling water for about 5 minutes, depending on the intensity of the boil.
- Remove the baos from the steamer, carefully open them, and fill with grilled zucchini, smoked buffalo mozzarella, roast ham, and mayonnaise.
