PREPARE THE DOUGH
1. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl except for the butter. Mix 3 mins on low speed and 6 mins on high.

4. Divide the dough into 30 x 60g pieces. Mould each piece into round balls.
5. Place each piece of rounded dough at least 2 inches apart from each other, on a tray lined with baking sheet.
6. First fermentation: Cover the dough and leave it to rest for 30 mins at room temperature of 26 – 30°C.
SHAPING
1. Roll each piece of dough into long strings of approximately 30cm in length.
2. Take a piece of hotdog and wrap a dough strip around it like a spiral.
3. Make sure the ends are tucked in and are not left loose.
4. Place each piece evenly spaced on a flat baking tray lined with baking sheet.
5. Cover the tray with cling wrap or cloth for about 120 mins at room temperature of 26 – 30°C (it should double in size).
7. Brush each bun with egg wash.
BAKING

2. Place on a cooling rack to cool before serving.
DO YOU KNOW?
We recommend that you use high quality hotdogs for this recipe. Poorer quality hotdogs contain a lot of water and will leave a big air space within the bun when baked.
