Homemade Hot Dog Buns Recipes

BURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees 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.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

A QUICK AND EASY HOT DOG BUNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm milk and leave to proof-about 5 minutes.
• Combine two and a half cups of flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• Add the proofed yeast, one egg, and melted butter, and use a sturdy spoon to mix until everything comes together in a rough, shaggy mass of dough.
• Cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and leave to rest for five minutes.
• Remove the lid, turn the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead, gradually adding the leftover quarter cup of flour - your dough will still be soft, but don't be tempted to add more flour.
• Return the dough to the bowl and grease the surface with a bit of oil or melted butter, cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
• Punch down the dough to remove any trapped air and transfer it back to a lightly floured work surface.
• Divide the dough into eight pieces, roll each out about 6 inches long, and pinch down the sides and ends.
• Place the buns, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Make the egg wash by whisking one egg, then brush the buns with the egg wash.
• Cover the loaves and leave them to rise for 15minutes. They should become nicely puffy.
• Place in a 350F preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

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.

HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In a large bowl (the bowl of a stand mixer if you're using one), stir together 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
• Add water and butter and stir until combined.
• Add two more cups of flour and stir until combined.
• Place bowl in stand mixer, and gradually add remaining 3-4 cups flour, 1/2-1 cup at a time. As your dough gets closer to finishing, reduce the amount of flour you add at once so that you don't add too much. You can make this dough by hand as well -- just stir in flour gradually until you can no longer use a spoon, then knead it in by hand, just until a soft and smooth dough forms. We want to stop adding flour when our dough is just past the sticky point.
• Cover and place dough in a warm spot for 1.5 hours or until doubled (I like to turn my oven on to preheat for a few minutes, then turn it off before placing my dough inside). Punch dough down.
• Uncover dough and divide into 4 even sections. Divide each section into 5 equal sections so you have 20 pieces. Keep remaining pieces covered to prevent drying out while you roll each bun. (For smaller hot dog buns, divide each section into 6 pieces, for a total of 24 buns)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball, pinching the seams in the back and rolling until smooth. Place ball on the counter and roll back and forth with both hands to make a cylinder that is roughly 5-6" by 1-1.5". For hot dog buns that are not as thick, press down to flatten slightly. Line up on baking sheets about 1-1.5" apart.
• Once your hot dog buns are all rolled, let rise for 45-60 minutes until doubled again.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown. Optional: brush wth melted butter upon removing from the oven.
• Let cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add 2 teaspoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the remaining water and sugar, milk, shortening, salt, eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight. , Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into 12 pieces. Shape each into a 5-in. x 2-in. roll. Place 4 in. apart on greased baking sheets. , Beat egg and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with caraway, poppy or sesame seeds. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours. , Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk 1/2 cup flour and water into yeast until mixture is smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk egg, 3 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, and salt into yeast mixture; add remaining flour and stir.
• Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
• Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface and form into a 5x10-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough into 8 equal lengths. Turn each slice cut-side up and form into a hot dog bun shape about 5 inches long. Transfer dough, cut-sides up, to the prepared baking sheet about set them about 1/4-inch apart.
• Cut a slit about 1/8-inch deep down the center of each bun. Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over the top and sides of each bun. Let rise until almost doubled in size and the buns have risen into each other, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.

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.

EASY HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• Bring a kettle of water to a boil, then pour 50g of the boiling water into a medium bowl. Add 50g bread flour and mix until no dry flour remains. Refrigerate overnight to make the "yudane". Also, leave the butter out overnight to soften.
• Separate the egg, saving the white for later. In a large bowl, whisk the yolk with the milk, yeast, salt and sugar until everything is well-mixed and dissolved.
• Add the remaining 250g flour, plus the yudane, to the milk mixture. Mix until there is no dry flour remaining. Tip the dough out onto the counter, cover with plastic wrap, and let hydrate for 15 minutes.
• Hand-knead the dough for 6 minutes. The dough will be quite messy to work with for a while, but it should come together before the six minutes expire.
• Press the softened butter into the dough, then wrap the dough around to completely envelop the butter. Hand-knead for 4 more minutes. This will get very messy as the butter works its way to the surface of the dough. But, it will eventually become a nice smooth dough.
• Shape the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to ferment for 2 to 2.5 hours.
• Using a scale, divide the dough into equal pieces. If making hamburger buns, do four pieces. For hot dog bugs, do six. Stretch/shape each piece into ball. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Do final shaping. For hamburger buns, stretch the top surface of each ball so it's tight, and pinch off the bottom to seal. For hot dog buns, stretch each ball into a flat rectangle, then roll it into a spiral log, folding over the ends, and pinching the seams closed.
• Arrange on baking sheet atop a silicone mat or parchment paper. For hot dog buns, make sure the dough logs are crowded together so they completely touch each other along each long edge. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 320F with convection on, and place another baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven.
• Brush the tops of the buns with the egg white. For hamburger buns, you can optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds. Throw some ice cubes onto the pre-heated baking sheet to create some steam, then bake buns for 25 minutes on the upper rack until the crust is a nice color.
• Remove from oven, and place on a rack until entirely cool. For the hot dog buns, it's easiest to cut the slits while the buns are all still attached together (and you may need a knife to help separate them).
