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
These buns are so soft, and they stay soft the next day and the day after, but they are strong enough to hold up under even the thickest of hot dogs and sausages. They are fluffy and delicious.

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 a mixing bowl (of your stand mixer), combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- In another small bowl, whisk together the water, milk and egg.
- With the paddle attachment in your stand mixer or a dough whisk, mix the dry ingredients and add the water-milk-egg mixture and mix to combine.
- Switch to the dough hook of your stand mixer, and knead the dough to bring it together. The dough needs to be fairly wet and sticky. Knead for about 5 minutes, until you have a smooth ball of dough.
- Add the oil or butter and knead for a further 5-10 minutes (I knead it for about 8 minutes), until the dough is shiny, smooth and tacky to the touch.
- Lightly oil a big bowl and place the dough in it. Make sure the dough is lightly oiled on the surface as well.
- For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight (8 hours) or for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, if you want to bake it on the same day, you can cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until it has doubled in size.
- On the day you bake the bread rolls - turn the chilled dough out on to a lightly floured surface and lightly dust the surface of the dough as well. If the dough wasn't chilled, you may need extra flour on your hands and on your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.

CHEF JOHN'S HOT DOG BUNS
Don't get me wrong; if you hand me a hot dog at the ball game, it's not like I'm going to throw it back in your face, but given the choice this butter-crisped, split-topped bun is the way to go. Thanks to its genius design the meat and fixings go in the top, which leaves three relatively flat sides to toast in butter.

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.

Steps:
- Stir together the yeast and 1/4 cup lukewarm (105 degrees to 115 degrees) water in a small bowl; let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes. Combine the flour, sugar, 1 cup lukewarm water, milk, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and the yeast mixture in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low until the dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
- Increase speed to high and mix for 8 minutes. Stop the mixer, wet your fingers and pull off a small piece: it should be shiny, elastic and smooth and not break apart. If it is not elastic enough, mix for a few more minutes; if too wet, add a little more flour.
- Transfer dough to a floured baking sheet, cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut dough into 12 equal pieces (each weighing approximately 2 3/4 ounces). On a lightly floured work surface, using the edge of your hand, roll each piece of dough firmly in a circular motion, curling your fingers to create a mold. The dough should pop up into your palm, having formed a tight, smooth skin. Cover balls with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Using your palms, roll each ball out to sausage shape about 5 inches long. Transfer to the prepared pans, leaving a few inches between each. Cover buns with a damp towel and let rise until almost doubled in volume, 1 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Whisk together the egg, heavy cream and pinch of salt. Very gently brush the top of each bun with the egg wash. Bake until buns are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool, then slice.

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.

Nutrition Facts :
Tips for Making Homemade Hot Dog Buns:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh yeast, warm water, and high-quality flour will give you the best results.
- Proof the yeast: This step is essential to ensure that the yeast is active and will properly leaven the dough.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the buns their structure.
- Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size: This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will make the buns light and fluffy.
- Shape the buns into desired shape: You can make traditional hot dog buns, or you can get creative and make different shapes, such as knots, braids, or twists.
- Let the buns rise again: This will help them to maintain their shape and give them a final boost of flavor.
- Bake the buns until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
Conclusion:
Making homemade hot dog buns is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create delicious, fresh buns that are perfect for your next cookout or party. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
