   Schritt 5. Assemble the bao

   Roll each dough portion, add the filling and seal like an aloo paratha, applying a little water on the edges if needed.

   If the bao doesn't seal properly, apply a little water with your fingertip along the edges and seal. Leave enough space between the bao, as they will expand while cooking.
