Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Activating the Yeast: Begin by combining warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture, allowing it to activate for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Creating the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with melted butter, beaten egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Kneading and Rising: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Shaping the Buns: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a hot dog bun and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, brush the risen buns with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the buns turn a golden brown.
- Cooling and Enjoying: Allow the Hot Diggity Gourmet Buns to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice them open, add your favorite hot dog or sausage, and relish in the homemade gourmet goodness.
