Hot Dog Buns

Ingredients:

Bread Flour - 200g

Sugar - 30g

Milk Powder - 6g

Yeast - 3g

Warm Water - 100g

Unsalted Butter - 25g

Egg - 1

Salt - 1g

Weiner - 4

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2.  Mix bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk powder and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer, and slowly pour in water.  In a stand mixer, knead the dough, add butter and knead till dough is smooth and elastic.  Leave aside to prove till the dough doubles in size.

3.  Divide the dough in four equal portions.  Leave aside to rest for 15 minutes.

4.  Roll the dough into individual long rod shapes and wrap around the weiners.

5.  Leave for final proof for about 30 minutes.  Brush lightly with egg wash.

6.  Bake on parchment paper or a silicone mat for 15 to 20 minutes.

Oops... for the egg wash, I forgot to mix the egg with water... 

These buns are so soft and yummy.  You can be creative and substitute weiners to ham, cheese, tuna, etc.  Once you have baked your own bread, you will never go back to buy store-bought ones!
