Hot Dog Buns
Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for homemade hot dog buns:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 8-10 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a long, cylindrical roll, approximately the length of a hot dog. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.
- Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving with your favorite hot dogs or sausages.
Enjoy your homemade hot dog buns!
