Could someone please clarify if it's feasible to cook bao buns using an air fryer? I've heard of air frying a wide range of foods, but I'm not sure about the intricacies of baking traditional Asian breads like bao. Would the texture and taste be compromised? Would I need to adjust the recipe or cooking time significantly? Additionally, are there any specific air fryer settings or techniques that would ensure the best results? I'd appreciate any insights from those who have attempted this before or have expert knowledge in this area.

The air fryer, when employed for baking buns, imparts a unique calzone-like consistency to them.
