Best Homemade Hot Dog Buns Recipes

HOMEMADE HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine sugar, yeast and warm water. Stir to dissolve and let set until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• Add in milk, vegetable oil and salt.
• With the mixer on a low speed with the dough hook attached, gradually add the flour.
• Once 3 cups have been incorporated, add the remaining flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 2-4 minutes, until smooth and supple. The dough should be soft, but not sticky.
• Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Gently remove the dough from its bowl onto a floured surface. Divide it into 9 equal pieces.
• Shape into rolls. You want them to be the proportions of a fat cigar (slightly larger though) -- don't worry, they will expand when baking.
• Place hot dog buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a dishtowel. Let them rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Brush buns with egg white and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove to a rack to cool before slicing.

EASY GOOD HOMEMADE HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• The night before, tightly wrap 1 frozen loaf bread dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Next morning, unwrap and cut loaf lengthwise down center.
• Cut each long piece into 3 equal sections making 6 equal pieces total.
• Pinch cut edges together so buns will eventually come out smooth, and roll into small ropes. *They should be about the size of a cooked hotdog.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Brush with half the melted butter.
• Cover lightly with plastic wrap, sealing the edges of the plastic wrap to the cookie sheet so that no air gets inside.
• Let rise in warm place til doubled. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours.).
• Lightly brush each with rest of melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
• Bake in 350º oven for about 20 minutes til golden brown. You may want to turn your cookie sheet around half-way through baking for even browning of your buns.
• Cool on wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
• Cut open with SHARP serrated knife.

BEST HOMEMADE HOT DOG BUNS-- IN AN HOUR! RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120°F (50°C). In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Variation: You can mix all the ingredients in a Kitchen Aid Stand mixer- with the dough attachment. Knead until the dough is elastic and smooth-- 5-8 minutes. Divide dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 6x4-inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Tip: Turn your oven on WARM for 2 to 3 minutes and then shut off. This will help to speed up the "proofing" of your dough. Place the rolls onto a parchment covered baking sheet (or greased). If you desire softer edges, place the rolls closely together. If desired, brush each roll with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Cover with a clean tea towel, and let rise for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked and cooled, these rolls freeze well. To reheat, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes. Notes: You can easily adapt these as hamburger buns.
