Instructions

  1. 1
    Yeast dough: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and baking powder. Add milk and oil, knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise for 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Marinate pork belly: Mix hoisin, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and five-spice powder. Marinate meat for 30 minutes.
  3. 3
    Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C). Place pork belly on a baking rack, roast for 35–40 minutes until caramelized. Brush with marinade every 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Form dough into a log, cut into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval (about 4×2.4 inches / 10×6 cm).
  5. 5
    Place an oil-soaked piece of parchment paper on one half, fold dough closed (like a book). Let rise for another 20 minutes.
  6. 6
    Prepare a bamboo steamer or pot with steamer insert. Steam bao buns for 8–10 minutes over high heat.
  7. 7
    Cut cooked pork belly into slices.
  8. 8
    Stir ZenOil into the sriracha mayo while cold.
  9. 9
    Open buns and fill: pork belly, cucumber slices, green onions, cannabis sriracha mayo.

Pro Tips

  • The parchment paper trick prevents bao buns from sticking together during steaming.
  • No time for yeast dough? Frozen pre-made bao dough packs are available at Asian markets.
  • Cannabis sesame oil in the sauce — the sesame roast flavor pairs perfectly with the Asian flavor profile.
  • Steaming instead of baking makes bao buns soft and fluffy like clouds — this only works with steam.
