New England Style Hot Dog Buns & How to Use Them

[disco]

I have posted these hot dog buns before, see:

Here is a pdf of the recipe for the white version.

However, I have been asked why I like them so much over the regular. I find they have a great shape and are perfect to grill for a bratwurst or hot dog.

I cooked up a batch but I did them with all white flour this time. I also rolled 3 of the small rolls into a fifth hot dog bun for each pan so I only had one small roll left.

When you break them apart they have these nice straight sides.

When you go to cook your hot dog or brat, butter the sides of the buns.

While you are grilling your meat, toss the buns on the grill and toast up both sides.

Cut the bun from the top instead of the sides.

Cutting it from the top makes it way easier to load up with your favourite toppings.

The toasted sides with the soft bun are great. Cutting from the top makes it easy for kids to do their own topping.

Try it!

That's a thing of beauty Disco! I can only imagine the smell of those fresh out of the oven. I bow to those of you skilled at breadmaking, for it is my nemesis. Points!

Looks Awesome, Disco!!

Like others, I wish I could bake rolls like that !!

BTW: I like to put Mustard on both inner sides of the roll, so it isn't sticking out on the top of the dog.

Keeps it from being such a mess, especially if Kids are eating them.

Thanks, Bear. Really, really, really, these rolls are ridiculously easy. I humbly accept the point anyway!

I guess that explains why She Who Must Be Obeyed suggests I'm a messy eater!

Wow Disco. Your rolls look great. I gotta try to make these, no eggs needed.

Nope they are super easy and just a basic quick bread dough.

Geez! Thanks for adding another project to my ever growing list of things to have to do!

Looks great,we have a hot dog place that does that, I think it raises the dogs to another level for sure!

Great job Disco!

Judy has a pan especially made for baking those buns.

They come out square with a rounded top.

It will bake 10 at a time.

Perfect for New England lobster rolls!

Har! I wanted a dedicated pan but my food equipment purchases have been put under embargo by a higher power!

Thanks, Al.

Har! I don't know what it is but as I get older, my buns are getting smaller.

Thanks for the point, Brian.

Those look great!!!!

And thanks for posting the recipe. One question, did you just swap out the wheat flour for white 1:1 or were there any other changes?   POINTS>>>>
