Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp Butter softened
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Water as needed
  • 1 pack Hot dogs, wieners, or sausages
  • 1 Egg beaten

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix lightly. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 20 minutes.
  2. Roll the Dough
    Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion flat, using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into long strips.
  3. Wrap the Hot Dogs
    Cut the hot dogs into desired lengths if needed. Wrap a strip of dough around each hot dog, slightly overlapping as you go. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray with space between each piece.
  4. Bake
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush each bun with beaten egg. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
