    Our soft and fluffy Thermomix Bao Buns served with leftover roast pork and crunchy asian slaw make the perfect family dinner. 

    Thermomix Bao Buns

    If you're looking for a yummy new dinner to make in your Thermomix, this is it!!! Our Thermomix Bao Buns are always a massive hit with the whole family. I like to make these buns whenever I have leftover roast pork or pulled pork sitting in the fridge. Add some fresh crunchy slaw, some creamy mayo and you've got a delicious meal waiting for you!

    Thermomix Bao Buns

    This recipe makes quite a lot of buns (around 15-18) so if you're only feeding a couple of people, you can freeze the extra dough for another time. We find that 2-3 buns is plenty for an adult (unless you're super hungry of course!!).

    • Knead the dough on an oiled bench or board. Divide the dough into approximately 15 - 18 small pieces. Roll into balls and flatten down into a circle/oval shape. 
      Place small pieces of baking paper onto half of each flattened oval and fold over (so that the baking paper is in between.

      I am about to make these and just wanted to know if I can steam them in advance and then reheat them maybe in the microwave before filling with shredded pork and asian slaw? Thank for your receipe I am excited to try.

        Bao buns go a bit chewy once they've cooled down and I haven't tried reheating them, so I would personally probably recommend steaming them fresh.
