These Hot Dog Buns are better in every way

I've been trying to make most things from scratch for a while now. Because most products you can buy in the store nowadays contain a lot of preservatives and colorants. Although I haven't achieved it 100% yet, there are many things that I have learned to make myself. I practically make all my bread at home and you can find various bread recipes on my blog.

Of course, this recipe for making Hot Dog Buns cannot miss on my blog. In fact, I don't know why I haven't posted it before. It's a very versatile recipe, as you can easily turn them into hamburger buns just by changing their shape.

The breads are soft and can be filled with whatever you like. Not only are they much healthier than the breads you can find in the store (and you don't know how long they've been laying there), but they taste delicious.

How To Make Homemade Hot Dog Buns

I have managed to make some Hot Dog Buns without having to let them rise for too long, since when I make them I want them quickly and delicious.

Ingredients needed to make hot dogs

• 600 grams all purpose flour
• 120 to 150 ml of water
• 2 eggs size L
• 30 grams sugar
• 15 grams instant yeast
• 90 grams of margarine (melted)
• 1/4 cup milk (of your choice)
• 13 grams of salt

To paint the buns before putting them in the oven you´ll need 1 egg + 2 tablespoons of water.

Instructions to make hot dog buns

Combine all ingredients, except salt and water, in a bowl. Mix everything together with your hand or a spatula, gradually add the water and salt. You may not need to use all of the water. You want a firm, slightly sticky dough.

Flour your work surface and knead for about 4 minutes. Grease a bowl with a little bit of sunflower oil (or any oil you have on hand) and put the dough in it, cover it with cling film or a damp kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 45 minutes.

Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a floured surface. Weigh out pieces of approximately 105 grams or cut it into 10 pieces. Form the dough into balls, then flatten them as in the image below.

Then, take one of the long edges and fold it inwards as shown in the images below.

Finally, close them as shown in the image and stretch them a little by rolling them with your hands.

Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cover them with a kitchen towel for about 30 minutes to allow them to double in size.

Brush them with egg wash (mix one egg with two tablespoons of water) and bake them at 180 degrees for approximately 12 minutes. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on them from time to time. When they are golden brown, take them out and cover them with a (dry) kitchen towel so that the steam softens them further.

Enjoy them, Bismillah!
