Homemade Burger and Hot Dog Buns

9 years ago

I wanted to make burger and hot dog buns so I took my basic baguette recipe and adjusted it by adding an egg, butter, honey and buttermilk. I used the buttermilk because I had some to use up. Any milk will do.

I divided the dough in half and made 10 burger buns ( Between 95 and 100 g each) and 8 hot dog buns (120g each).

Moe's dinner - with homemade fries.

And breakfast this morning - Toasted Peameal Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches.

Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns
1000g flour
650 g liquid (I used half buttermilk and half water, but could be made with all milk. I just happened to have buttermilk that I wanted to use up.)
21 g salt
35 g honey
8 g yeast
1 egg
75 g butter

1 egg white mixed with a little water
Sesame or poppy seeds

Mix flour, yeast, honey and add liquid.
Let rest for 20 minutes. Add salt and let rest another 20 minutes. Add butter and egg and knead until dough forms a smooth ball.

Place in covered container and let rise until more than doubled.

Knock down. Cut dough into equal portions approx. 95g to 100 g each for burger buns and 120 g for hot dog buns.

Let buns rise until almost doubled. Brush with egg white mixed with a little water, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds and bake in a 425ÃÂ°F oven until golden brown.

Oh I didn't think of looking for a specific hamburg/hotdog bun recipe. I've just turned one of my bread loaves into hamburger buns.

Yours look fantastic! I don't have a scale, so mine were all different sizes :-)

Your hotdog/sausage buns are huge! Hotdog buns are on my to-do list.

I guess great minds think alike Jasdip. I just turned my favourite bread recipe into a bun recipe.

I like the variety in sizes. Perfect for burgers or sandwiches.

Chase, you did send me a jar of that chile sauce, my secretary says it tastes just like her late mother's chile sauce, which she's been trying to recreate for several years. It WOULD be good on a hot dog. Here, though, a chili dog has a kind of sweet hot chili without beans, mostly with ground beef. Now that it's been mentioned, I might like it better without the ground beef! Rita, those dogs are very mild, I don't taste any particular seasoning, mostly just a very mild "meat" flavor, if that makes any sense, kind of like a very mild bratwurst. They were good, although I have to admit that I liked the Italian Sausage best of the three that we've made, that was just so good. Shambo, go for it. What's the worst that could happen? You don't like it as hot dogs and then you brown it up and use it in chili or something similar, it's all good. Fun to experiment too. Earl, thanks for that link, I'm passing it on to Elery too.

This is overwhelming. I've read through the recipes - wow - so many yummy burgers to try - esp. Mexican burger, chicken, tuna, and a good old-fashioned classic cheeseburger has never looked as good as many of the ones right here. Here are the recipes for the Pacific Rim Burger and Warm Potato Salad with Cilantro. My motto is "you can never be too rich, or have too much cilantro." By the way, this is my third time trying to post this - the internet has disconnected midway. So third time's the charm: Pacific Rim Chicken Burgers With Ginger Mayonnaise Recipe #65297 This recipe came from Kristine Snyder, Kihei, Hawaii, and was the $25,000 grand prize winner in the National Chicken Cooking Contest. by Sharon123 4 servings 25 min 15 min prep 1 1/4 lbs ground chicken 2/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) 1 egg, lightly beaten 2 green onions, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon asian hot chili sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 cup bottled teriyaki sauce 4 teaspoons honey 4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds, split and toasted 4 leaves red leaf lettuce 1 cucumber, peeled,seeded,halved and thinly sliced lengthwise Ginger Mayonnaise 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger 2 teaspoons lime juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt MIX chicken, panko, egg, onions, cilantro, garlic, chili sauce and salt in a large bowl. With oiled hands, form into 4 patties. Mix together teriyaki glaze and honey in a small bowl. In large nonstick fry pan over medium high heat, place 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken and cook, turning and brushing with teriyaki glaze, about 10 minutes or until done. PLACE burgers on toasted buns and top with lettuce, cucumber and Ginger Mayonnaise (recipe follows). Garnish with additional cilantro and cucumber slices. Ginger Mayonnaise: MIX 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish, 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1 clove garlic, minced and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. My notes: omit the salt. The teriyaki sauce already has plenty. And one cup of teriyaki/honey mixture is way more than you need. I used less than half. The recipe also makes more ginger mayo than you need, but it's delicious on fish and other things. Warm Potato Salad with Cilantro: 2 lbs. waxy potatoes (like red bliss) scrubbed kosher salt 1/2 cup evoo 1/2 tsp. fine grated lemon zest 3 tBS. lemon juice fresh ground pepper 1/2 cup lightly packed chopped cilantro 2 scallions (white and green parts) thinly sliced (or 1 shallot minced) Bring potatoes to boil in large pot of salted water. Then lower to simmer. Cook, partially covered, until tender when piecered with a fork - about 25 minutes. Drain and let cook slightly. While the potatoes are warm, slice them about 1/4 inch thick (no need to peel, but discard pieces of skin that come off on their own). Put half the potatoes ina large serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon zest and juice, 1 tsp kosher salt, and several grinds of pper. Drizzle half the dressing over the potatoes. Add the remaining potatoes to the bowl, drizzle the rest of the dressing, and toss gently with a large rubber spatula to combine well. Add teh cilantro and scallions and toss gently again. Taste and add more salt as needed. serve warm or at room temperature. I better submit this before it disappears. Thanks Michelle for putting this together. Lynn. PS okay I'm tempting fate by continuing to type, but I have to mention that the idea of having oil on your hands when forming the chicken patties was fabulous. It gave the patties just enough oil to bind them and protect them in cooking. Anyone else ever heard of this technique?

Do you like hot dogs?

Love hotdogs! Nathan's all beef either grilled on the bbq or fried in a cast iron skillet on a toasted bun with yellow mustard and sweet relish. Or as a chili dog topped with chopped onions and cheddar cheese. I also really like hot links on a toasted bun with yellow mustard only. Not sure if I like the dogs or the yellow mustard best! I'd eat them more often, but know they aren't the healthiest food choice. I also know they are full of stuff that would gross me out if I knew it was in there, so I don't want to know what's in there. Ignorance is bliss in this case. A friend of mine once served turkey dogs to her then young children. Her daughter took a bite, got a funny look on her face and as she pulled back her head came away with a long white feather in her mouth. Put her off turkey dogs for life!

Toby, we do plenty of shopping at the mid-range markets, we just don't buy deli meats at them because the quality doesn't seem that good. We don't eat a log of deli meat but when we do, I have to say that I've found that higher end markets have better quality and more tasty products. Often (not always) from boutique processed meat producers, usually more expensive, but (to us) worth it. We have two sources - Whole Foods is one, and a family owned small chain market (Lunardi's in Los Gatos for anyone in the area) both seem to have much better than average quality choices.

I didn't think of adding milk and butter though, Ann. I just turned one loaf into buns, and the other into bread.

Oh, I forgot to say what Arkansas Girl said. DITTO what she said.

Yum, you're on a roll !!.... (haha...dumb pun)

Mr Sleeve's favorite meal...the hotdog.
He made burger and dog buns for superbowl. Thank's to your Forkish recipe 'heads-up' back then.

I need buns for the 4th weekend and may have to make the spicy english muffins tomorrow...oh so hate to buy buns and rolls when they are so easy to make.
The bread for rolls is his gig and he has been way to busy with work...

For hotdog lovers, i made a smoked port tip a few weeks ago that tasted so much like hotdogs...must have been the dry rub i came up with. DH loved it, : )

Good pun sleevendog.

We have been eating too many hot dogs (jalapeno, cheddar, smoked, etc). I roast them in the toaster oven. All I need now is to make the buns and we are in hot dog heaven.
Thanks Ann.

Those look great, Ann! Wonderfully uniform and pretty!

Jasdip, it's a bit pricy but I can't think of enough good things to say about the Joseph Joseph Shell Scale. The only downside is that it doesn't do fractions of grams and only tenths of ounces. Still, for most baking it's just fine, and a real pleasure to use. The bowl/pourer/cover is fab, as is the vertical display. For bigger things, just remove the bowl. That doesn't mean I weighed my bun dough either (sourdough thread). :) I always do weigh my pizza dough, but it was after midnight, and weighing is totally optional after midnight, even if you have a scale. :)

Great looking buns, Ann! I've made the burger buns before and they do bring a lot of flavor to the table.

Cathy, could you tell us what temp and how long you roast your hot dogs in the TO? I like to fix a quick hot dog for lunch when I come home from work on my lunch break. Thanks!

I didn't make buns -- sounds like a good idea with a holiday weekend coming up though.

I also wanted to respond to the no scale comment. If you bake, cook, mail packages, etc. it's really worth getting one. I've added a link to what I believe is the newer version of mine. I worried about where I would put a scale, and this one just slides into the side of my cabinet, right next to my mixing bowls. Thought I'd mention that in case anyone has a kitchen that is space challenged.

As always looking great Ann !

You have me jonesing for hot dogs...I do burgers often in the summer but I don't think of hot dogs. This weekend for sure.

I usually make my own buns too. I use King Arthur's recipe as well as your Rosemary and Potato Rolls recipe and Nancy's Pretzel Roll recipe depends on my mood!

.....which reminds me I miss Nancy

Aw, Ann. Those look so incredibly good. By the way, I have to tell you I would snag all of those fries! All. Of. Them! BTW, where do you buy your sesame seeds? Or if anyone else can recommend, I'd appreciate it. I just remember looking a time or two and thinking wow ... those are expensive.

Jasdip -- I love those buns. I can't tell the different sizes, but my kids would be able to pick the biggest one in seconds:)

Son and ventured into the world of buns a couple of weeks ago spur of the moment. We used a King Arthur recipe because it was dairy free -- very, very, very stiff dough. As I've shared, my daughter is the queen bread shaper (specifically, braids:), but poor planning on my part, she wasn't here. Recipe called for a kaiser stamp???????? Oh, for goodness sakes! Son's mandate was to figure out solution -- googled and found the familiar the granny knot. We could do that. No sesame -- had to make do with cornmeal!

What a picnic we all would have:)

Those are beautiful kaisers.

The knot is easy to do and makes for a more authentic looking kaiser than the stamp.

Cathy, the last time I made Kaisers I was out of Sesame and Poppy seeds so I used a combination of black pepper and salt.

I can buy sesame seeds in just about every grocery store. They are common here. In bulk or prepackaged. I keep them in the freezer so that they do not go rancid.

AnnT, those look just as delicious as always. I was going to make homemade buns and just ran right out of time. (sigh)

Cathy, those Kaiser rolls look perfect.

I get sesame seeds at the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern market in Grand Rapids, a large container is about $3.00 but like Ann T, I keep them in the freezer so they don't go rancid.

Sharon, I miss Nancy here too.

"Homemade hamburger and hot dog buns rules"

Annt...Jasdip.....cathy in pa...your buns (Ha) all look the greatest. This past week I have made 6 batches of hamburger buns, (Moonies Beautiful Buns from KA) just to get a few wrapped and in freezer. I would get a batch done and cooling and a kid would drop by and go home with that batch.

I make hot dog buns too, have a pan from KA which is okay...DH made me a cutter which I like real well, length is perfect.... width just alittle wide.....my free shaping is okay too, not uniform in looks but who cares as long as they are homemade.

Ann t ...I can just taste your Peameal sandwich, just might be what we have for lunch today....going to friends for 4th of July dinner...hoo rah I don't have to cook.

Pic of some free hand shaping awhile back

Happy 4th everyone

Love pictures of buns/breads on the rise.

Shirl, I hope you can find real peameal bacon in your area. I know that Canadian back bacon, sometimes rolled in cornmeal is easy to find in the US, but Peameal bacon isn't common.

Ann t.......Our Peameal Bacon and Canadian Bacon are our home cure. I got interested in curing and smoking the pork loins from a post last summer from annie 1992. Quite a lengthy thread it was. I really doubt that "our Peameal Bacon" is anything close to yours in Canada. We tried tho and are pleased. The canadian bacon and peameal verison reminded me of the pork my grandparents cured way back when I was a kid about a hundred years ago.

I have thought if I could find on the internet I would order, have never pursued that yet. Any suggestions?

I too droll over all the posted pics of all breads baked and unbaked.

They sure look good. Is that a Chicago style hot dog?

My son makes his own rolls, too. I've tried but they never come out as good as yours look.

I was late to the store yesterday so I had to settle for "regular" hot dog rolls. Fortunately good hot dogs can overcome even those rolls and these were great hot dogs.

How about these rolls. New England style, too - sliced on top.

Shirl, I can just imagine how much better homemade peameal bacon is.

Mom, how cute are those buns.

Moe's hot dog is just your typical hot dog. He likes his topped with hot dog relish, mustard, onions and pickle. He probably wouldn't care if the tomato was there or not. But since I only like tomato and onion and mix them together he also ends up with chopped tomato. I use European wieners which I prefer over regular wieners.

All of the buns look great!! Everyone did a great job.
Makes me want to bake more.

TeresaNC, 450 for 15-18 minutes or until they are a little charred.

Of late, there seems to be a lot of specialty wieners so I'm into hot dogs for a quick lunch or dinner. The homemade buns is my next venture.

We get our hot dogs from the milkman, now

South Mountain Creamery makes their own products and they are really good, and they are made from good stuff. No wood pulp in them.

I like the Beautiful Buns recipe from King Arthur, too. Searched for bun recipes and tried several. After using the Beautiful Buns recipe, I quit looking. Quick & easy...using the bread machine to mix & first rise. The guys love them--so, so much better than store bought.

Ann and Annie -- thanks for the additional info re: kaisers. Found the sesame seeds at a reasonable price in the bulk food section, but I will also remember the salt/pepper combo, Ann. That would be really good now that you mention it.

Off to check out the additional recipes shared.

Cathy in SWPA (probably the only one on this thread who had to google "peameal", but am happy I did --- wow, that's a winner on all fronts:)
