Homemade Hot Dog Buns
Report
Homemade Hot Dog Buns are easy to make and have a flavor that’s worth the effort. They bake until they form a light golden crust while staying soft inside.

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir to dissolve, then cover and set aside for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy and bubbly.
- While the yeast mixture activates, whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl to aerate. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter and milk. Heat in the microwave just until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool slightly (this is important to avoid killing the yeast).
- Once the yeast mixture is ready, add one egg and the melted butter and milk mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined, forming a sticky dough. Cover the dough and place it in a warm area to rise for 1–2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. (See notes for rising tips)
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently add small amounts of flour - only enough needed to handle the dough. Divide it into 10 even pieces, each weighing about 95–98 grams.
- Flatten each dough ball, then roll it out into a hot dog bun shape.
- Place the shaped buns onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and allow them to rise for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). To make the egg wash, whisk together the second egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over each bun.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing for your hot dogs.
Notes
- Store the homemade hot dog buns in a plastic bag for up to 4 days at room temperature or 1 week in the refrigerator.
- Ensure the area where you place the dough to rise is warm enough. Otherwise, it won’t double in size the way you need it to.
- Only add enough flour to ensure you can easily handle the bread dough. Adding too much will make the rolls dense and dry.
