With the exception of my poorly shaped bao, these were so good! I made the recipe as described and they came out great flavor/texture wise. I have some shaping work to do, but I see perfect bao in my future!

My dough remained lumpy and when I made the buns, the surface wasn’t smooth like your photos and it was very dense.

Very smooth? What do you mean? Smooth dough is perfect for lovely surface.

Normal yeast works fine for this version too.
