Hot Dog Buns (20 pcs)

Homemade hot dog buns are easy to make and taste so much better than the store-bought ones. These will be soft, airy, and slightly sweet, perfect for grilling, children's birthdays, or a simple dinner. Once you make them yourself, it's hard to go back!

• 850 g all-purpose flour
• 50 g sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 packet dry yeast
• 100 g melted butter
• 6 dl water

1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. (set aside some of the flour)
2. Add water and melted butter (lukewarm) and knead for 10 minutes. Adjust with flour as needed until the dough is to your liking.
3. Let the dough rise for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
4. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces (using a scale is helpful).
5. Shape into elongated hot dog buns and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1-1.5 cm between them.
6. Cover and let them proof for 30 minutes.
7. Bake at 200°C in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are light golden brown.
8. Brush with room temperature butter after removing them from the oven (while they are still warm). This is optional.
9. Cool before serving.

Serve the hot dog buns warm with your favorite sausages and desired toppings. They also freeze well; place them in the freezer once cooled, and warm them lightly in the oven before serving. Perfect to have on hand for busy days or spontaneous grilling nights!
