Hot Dog Buns

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 10 min. YIELD: 1 dozen.
This hot dog bun recipe has been in my family for years. Store-bought buns just can't compete with homemade. The dough is made ahead and rises in the refrigerator. —Bernice Fenn, Carp, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Caraway, poppy or sesame seeds

Directions

  • 1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add 2 teaspoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the remaining water, sugar, milk, shortening, salt, eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 2. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 pieces. Shape each into a 5-in. x 2-in. roll. Place 4 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
  • 3. Beat egg and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with caraway, poppy or sesame seeds. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 425°. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire racks to cool.
