I think it still worked out well in the end! They have a nice brown color have a crumbling flakiness. Each time I followed the recipe, my buns turned out paler than I wanted. Then again, I also had to substitute the different flour types with only all-purpose flour since I didn't want to buy different flour types.
I think these are buns, as per the title, just baked. Do dim sum restaurants do baked buns? I thought it's either steamed buns or pastry puffs, which are "sou", vs buns ("bao").
Every dim sum restaurant I have been to also serves baked items. The ones that do cart service have a dedicated baked goods cart with other items like egg custard tarts and sesame balls.

Looks amazing!
I used The Woks Of Life! They have a steamed version too but I prefer baked texture.
Great thank you!
A man who never eat pork bun is never a whole man! Why don't you have pork bun in your hand?
Nobody's ever asked me that before. I don't have an answer for that.

These a must-order item when I go to a dim sum restaurant! They're an excellent balance of sweet and savory.
