Delight in the nostalgia of freshly baked hot dog buns, featuring a balanced sweetness and soft texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Combine warm water, yeast, and honey in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil, salt, and flour, stirring until it forms a soft dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 10–12 portions, and shape each into a bun.
- Arrange the buns on a baking tray, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, freeze shaped buns after the first rise and thaw before baking. You can also customize with sesame or poppy seeds.
