With Memorial Day on the horizon, I figured it was time to make hot dog buns. We all love a good hot dog and eating them on homemade buns makes them so much better. |
2 tablespoons sugar
2-1/2 tsp. rapid rise yeast
1/2 cup water
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups Flour
egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
Mix everything except the egg wash until you have a smooth ball of dough. Place it in a buttered bowl, cover and let it rise until doubled. Dump it on a floured surface and cut it into 18 equal pieces.
Roll each piece out flat and then roll it into a tube.
Brush them with the egg wash and sprinkle them with any topping you like or leave them plain.
I place them close together because I like soft sides on the buns. Let them rise until they are puffy.
Bake them at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until they turn golden.
Let them cool on a rack.
The lighting in my kitchen was bad when I took this pic but you can see how they pull apart.
And here are the nice soft sides.
