Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 50 grams Caster Sugar
- 7 grams Instant Yeast
- 250 ml Warm Water
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 300 grams Cooked BBQ Pork
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-Free Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch mixture)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Spring Onions
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, caster sugar, and instant yeast.
In a separate jug, mix the warm water with the vegetable oil and stir it into the dry mixture until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by chopping the cooked BBQ pork into small pieces.
In a small pan, heat the sesame oil and add the chopped pork, gluten-free soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water and add to the pork mixture to thicken. Stir continuously until the mixture is glossy and thick.
Add the chopped spring onions, remove from heat, and allow the filling to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 12 equal parts.
Flatten each piece of dough into a disc and add a spoonful of filling in the center. Gather the edges and pinch them together to seal.
Place the buns, seam side down, on small squares of parchment paper.
Prepare a steamer and steam the buns over boiling water for 10-15 minutes until the dough is cooked and fluffy.
Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free BBQ Pork Buns!
