Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110-115°F)
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Quick Rise Yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (plus extra for dusting your work surface)
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups grated cheddar
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped sage

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix the water and yeast until the yeast is dissolved. Add the sugar and egg and mix well.
  • Mix in 2 cups of the flour until no lumps are visible. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rest for 45 minutes.
  • After resting, add the salt, melted butter and olive oil. Mix to combine, and then add the remaining 2 cups flour, cheddar, rosemary and sage.
  • Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the dough until it forms a ball and comes away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
  • Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • After rising, punch the dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces.
  • Press each piece flat into a rectangle shape and roll tightly into a log shape, pressing heavier at the ends as you roll for a tapered finish. Each bun should be about 4 to 5 inches long.
  • Dust a baking tray with cornmeal and place the rolled buns in rows of 4 by 3. Cover the tray with a towel and let rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes and golden brown.

Can these hot dog buns be made with freshly milled hard white wheat flour? What changes would I have to make to the recipe?

Hi Mark,

I don’t see why you couldn’t swap out the flour. Expect a hydration change though, I am assuming you will have a higher fiber content for the hard white wheat flour. Therefore expect to adjust with additional water. I would add a Tablespoon at a time until the dough feels like it is at the right consistency.

Happy Baking!
