Hot Dog Buns

As with the burger buns I'm not a big fan of the store bought spongy type. For some reason it just don't feel right. So when eating hot dogs I always make my own buns. It's really quite easy. I hope you will try it too.

Ingredients;

2 tbsp butter (25 grams)
1 1/4 cup milk (3 dl)
a little bit less than 1/2 cup water (1 dl)
10 grams dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 3/4 cups bread flour (500 grams)

Melt the butter, add milk and water.
Combine the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl then add half the liquid mix (lukewarm). Beat then add gradually the rest of the liquid. Beat for another 5 to 6 minutes using the dough hook.

Cover the bowl and let sit for 45 minutes or until the dough has more than doubled its volume.

Roll out the buns and put on a parchment covered baking sheet. Cover the buns and let sit for a second rise about 30 minutes. Spray the buns with water and bake in the oven on 428 F for 10 to 15 minutes.
