Preparation Steps
1
Steam the bao buns: Place them in a steamer set over boiling water and steam for 5-6 minutes. Tip: Use parchment paper under the bao buns to prevent them from sticking!
2
While the bao buns are steaming, prepare the Nutella: If needed, microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to spread, but don't overheat it, or it might burn or become too runny.
3
Gently open the softened bao buns, but don't cut them completely in half. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella into each, making sure the filling is evenly distributed inside.
4
Serve the Nutella bao buns warm, when the Nutella is still slightly melted. Tip: For an extra creamy effect, you can steam the filled bao buns covered for another minute.
