Ingredients
- 6-7 cups all-purpose flour (you can sub in whole wheat) divided
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant or quick yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups warm water (noticeably warm but not hot)
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer).
- Stir together the water and butter. Once the flour is combined, add two more cups.
- Mix bowl in a stand mixer, adding flour 1/2-1 cup at a time, until the remaining 3-4 cups are added. To avoid adding too much flour at once, reduce the amount of flour you add as your dough gets closer to finishing. As an alternative to kneading, you can stir in flour gradually, then knead it until the dough forms a soft and smooth texture. At the point when our dough becomes sticky, we should stop adding flour.
- I like to preheat my oven for a few minutes before placing my dough inside, then turn it off before placing it in a warm place for 1.5 hours or until doubled. Roll out dough and punch it down.
- Divide the dough into four equal sections. You will have 20 pieces if you divide each section into 5 equal parts. As you roll each bun, keep the remaining pieces covered to prevent them from drying out. (For smaller hot dog buns, divide each section into six pieces for a total of 24 buns)
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. The dough pieces need to be rolled into smooth balls, pinching the seams in the back as they roll. Make a cylinder by rolling the ball back and forth with both hands to a size of roughly 5-6" by 1-1.5". Flatten slightly for hot dog buns that are not as thick. Place about 1-1.5" apart on baking sheets.
- After the hot dog buns have been rolled, let them rise for 45-60 minutes until they have doubled.
- In a 400-degree F oven, bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. After removing from the oven, brush with melted butter.
- Slice and serve after letting cool to room temperature.
