Wiener Bread
Bake a hot dog and bun all in one easy dish. It will delight kids of any age!

Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3¼ cups bread flour
- 1 package (2¼ tsp, ¼oz, 7g) RED STAR Active Dry Yeast
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups water
- 1 Tbsp shortening
- 1 egg
- ¾ lb. wieners or Polish sausage
- Butter, softened
Instructions
- In large mixer bowl, combine 2½ cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add warm water (120-130°F), shortening and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Cover; let rise in warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Stir down batter. Spread evenly in greased 13x9-inch cake pan. Cut wieners in half, crosswise; press down into batter. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 25 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Brush with butter. Serve warm with mustard.
- You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) in place of Active Dry Yeast in batter/no knead recipes. When using Instant Yeast, expect your batter/dough to rise faster - about 50% faster. Adjust your rise times accordingly. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use ½ tsp Instant Yeast OR ¾ tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.

How does the bread make that line to separate into rolls? Can you show a picture of that? How do you cut it into individual rolls. Picture? I have a King Arthur Flour bun pan and it has rows to form the rolls.
Hi Sylvia,
The lines you see in the picture are formed as the dough rises over the wieners/sausages. There are some process pictures that you can view here that you may find helpful>> http://yesterfood.blogspot.com/2014/06/hot-dog-bread-with-dipping-sauces.html. This recipe calls for a 13×9″ cake pan. If you use a bun pan, then you will need to divide the dough into individual buns, spread it into the bun pan slots, then add the sausages, rise and bake.
I hope you will find this information helpful.
Happy baking!
