New England Hot Dog Buns

To cook these buns, you will need a baking pan with 2” sides that is 5-6 ½” long on one side. You want your buns to fit snugly into the pan, or else they will not rise properly. Use multiple, smaller baking dishes if necessary.Yield: 10 buns

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 c water, warmed to 90F
  • 1 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and let cool
  • 1 egg, beaten slightly
  • 3 c unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¼ c non-fat powdered milk
  • ¼ c potato flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water (for brushing the rolls)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast and let stand for 5-10 min until the yeast becomes soft and foamy.
  2. Mix in cool, melted butter and beaten egg.
  3. Add 2 cups of flour, powdered milk, potato flakes and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
  4. Turn the dough out onto your counter top and add the last cup of flour. Knead the flour into the dough until a smooth, soft dough forms, 8-10 min.
  5. Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, coating the dough with the grease as well. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm (70-80F), draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 10 roughly equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 6”long log, and place into a greased baking pan, ¼” apart.
  7. Brush the dough gently with 1 egg beaten with 2 tsp water.
  8. Cover the pan with a tea towel and let the dough rise for 20 min.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  10. Place the risen buns in the over and bake for 25-30 minutes, until buns are golden. (Not sure if they’re done? Inert a thermometer as close to the center of the buns as you can. If it reads around 200F, they’re done!)
  11. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the buns cool for 5-10 minutes before de-panning the buns and placing on a wire rack to cool.
  12. Once cool, you can tear(or cut) the individual buns apart and slice them 2/3 of the way through from the top of the bun.
  13. Stuff with your desired filling!
