Homemade Hot Dog Buns from Bread Machine Dough

4/17/2015

We are in crazy busy activity mode with several nights a week spent going from one activity to another.  Between baseball, Kung Fu, garden club, cub scouts, and soon to be added to this list t-ball, I am having to come up with portable meals that can be eaten on the run.  

On one of our busy nights, I decided we would have grilled smoked sausages. Since I didn't plan ahead as I should have, we did not have any buns in the house.  The last thing I wanted to do during our precious time at home was drag the little boys to the store for one package of hot dog buns.  I decided to try and make my own.  I started thinking about all of the bread dough recipes I have made and thought that my bread machine bread stick recipe might work if I adapted it slightly.  The bread sticks are always soft and kind of fluffy like hot dog buns.  I would have to make them larger and wouldn't pour melted butter over them, but I thought it would work.

And it did.  I cut them quickly with a pizza wheel and did not reshape the buns, but next time I may try to shape the buns in a more rounded shape if I have time.  Either way, they are delicious.
Put these ingredients in your bread maker in the order listed.  

1 cup warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3 TBS brown sugar or sucanat
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

1.  Once the dough cycle is finished, roll the dough to about a 10" X 10" square on a large lightly buttered baking sheet.

2.  Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 pieces.  Round edges to make hot dog bun shapes if desired.

3.  Let rise for about an hour.

4.  Bake at 375 degrees F. for 15-18 minutes until golden.

Great idea - especially for sausage! I've made my own New England style hot dog buns before by rolling out basically breadsticks and putting 8-9 side by side in a 9x9 pan (or a wide bread pan, for short hot dogs). They bump into each other when they rise, but you can still pull them apart - then slit the middle and voila! Hot dog buns! Gotta love New Englanders!

How would you make these if you didn't have a bread machine?

Great question. When my old bread machine quit working, I came up with a way to make bread machine bread stick dough without a bread machine. Here is the recipe: http://www.homeecathome.com/the-home-economist/how-to-make-bread-machine-breadsticks-without-a-bread-machine

I found a replacement bread machine in a thrift store for $6.99. I have been using it for over a year and it has done a wonderful job.
