Bao! Bake Off is here and past legends have landed in the Served kitchen to teach our chefs how to bake. @Kim-Joy kicks things off by showing @Verna eats food & travels  her signature (and way-too-cute) Panda Bao Makes 12 bao Total time: 2 hours Ingredients:  300g plain flour  3g fast-action instant yeast  60g caster sugar  90g tepid whole milk (or plant-based milk) 80g tepid water  1 tbsp vegetable oil  Plus:  Black gel food dye  100g red bean paste  Method 1. Put the flour, yeast and sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer. Stir then add the milk, water and veg oil 2. If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook attachment until smooth and elastic. If working by hand, use a spoon to stir the dough into a rough mass, then turn out on to a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic  3. Tear off a small piece of dough (about 30-40g) and knead in black gel food dye. Place the doughs into separate oiled bowls and cover with cling film. Leave for about an hour, or until about 50% increased in size 4. Divide the plain dough into 12 x 38-40g pieces. To shape the bao, use your fingers to press a piece of dough into a small circle. Then spoon a teaspoon of red bean paste into the center. Gather the edges upwards and press together to seal in the filling. Turn the bao smooth side up 5. Brush the bao with a little water, then attach small pieces of black dough to create the panda’s face. Ensure the ears are stuck on well by squeezing firmly to attach them. Place the finished bao on a small square of baking paper, and place in a bamboo steamer. Cover lightly with cling film or the steamer lid. Don’t overcrowd the buns in the steamer, as they need space to rise. Leave to rise for about 30 mins until about 50% bigger 6. Heat a pan of water until just starting to bubble, then turn down to a medium heat setting and place your bamboo steamer on top of the pan (ideally, the steamer will fit on top without a gap). Don’t open the lid while steaming 7. Steam for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave in the steamer for five minutes. Remove the lid and eat the bao straight away #baobuns #steamedbuns #bao #pandabao #gbbo
