1 Hour Homemade Hot Dog Buns

Soft, fluffy homemade hot dog buns made in just 1 hour using simple, REAL ingredients.
Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Servings: 8 buns

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water 105-107℉
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • 1 Tbsp dry active yeast (1½ Tbsp for sea-level) see notes**
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 3¾ cup bread flour (450 grams)

For egg wash

  • 1 medium egg beaten

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer add the water, yeast, honey, avocado oil, and whisk together. Allow the yeast to bloom and become foamy, this should take 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in the flour, salt, and egg. Using the dough hook, knead for 5 minutes, until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. If it is still sticks, add 1 Tbsp of additional flour at a time.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Flatten into a rectangle about 5 inches long, starting at one long end, carefully roll up the dough. Roll again until the it is about 6 inches long. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet seam side down, about 1 inch from one another.
  • Cover, and set in a warm area of your kitchen for 25-30 minutes or until they have become fluffy and increased in size. Don't worry if they touch each other, this allows for them to stay soft on the sides and not form a crust!
  • 5. Preheat the oven to 400℉. Brush each bun with egg wash, and bake 22-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Notes

**I live at 5,000 feet elevation in Colorado, so my yeast levels are lower. If you live closer to sea-level, etc. use more yeast.**
