This idea comes from the superb YouTube channel Boulangerie Pas à pas. It’s a great way to use what would otherwise get wasted when you need to refresh your levain but don’t have the need to bake anything....

There are innumerable ways to make bao, Chinese-style steamed buns. Eventually I’ll fill this page with different suggestions for fillings and wrapping techniques. To start, the recipe for the dough....
