  • Total Time: 50 minutes + 4 hours rise time
  • Yield: 16 hot dog buns

Ingredients

  • 2¼ tsp yeast
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 3½ cups bread flour
  • ½ cup mashed potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 egg + 1 beaten egg for glaze
  • poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place yeast, ¼ tsp sugar and warm water in a small bowl to proof.
  2. Add bread flour, mashed potatoes, sugar, salt, oil and 1 egg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix for 10-20 seconds.
  3. Add yeast-water mixture and change to dough hook. Mix on medium speed for 8-10 minutes, until dough is shiny, smooth and bounces back.

  5. Remove dough and divide into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a rope around 2 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat and cover again with plastic wrap. Allow to rise another 1 1/2 – 2 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush each  bun with beaten egg. Top with poppy seeds if desired.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until tops are just golden.
  8. Allow to cool, and slice down the middle.
