Homemade Hot Dog Buns Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour: The base for soft and fluffy buns.
• 2 teaspoons yeast: Active dry or instant yeast works.
• 1 cup milk: Warm (about 100–110°F) to activate the yeast.
• 2 tablespoons sugar: Feeds the yeast and adds a hint of sweetness.
• 1 teaspoon salt: Balances the flavor.
• 1 large egg: Adds richness and helps bind the dough.
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened: Adds softness to the buns.

Optional Toppings:

• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for garnish.
• Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water or milk) for a shiny finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

1. In a small bowl, warm the milk (about 100–110°F). Stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. This shows the yeast is activated.

2. Mix the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5–6 minutes.

3. First Rise

1. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
2. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Buns
