Recipe for Homemade Hotdog Bread

Hotdogs are just a fantastic invention! It is not a traditional Nordic dish but it is still very popular especially for barbecue parties and other special events like birthdays parties and so on. The origin for hotdogs are apparently Germany even though I thought it was the US. However, today hotdogs are super popular in the hole world and therefore also in Denmark and the other Nordic countries.

What is better than a freshly prepared hotdog directly from the grill - it is of course a homemade hotdog freshly from the grill. The recipe I have listed further down this page is describing how you can make some super delicious homemade hotdog bread. It might sound like a lot of wasted time making your own homemade hotdog bread but that is not the truth if you ask me.

Homemade hotdog bread is actually very easy to make yourself it only requires a few and simple ingredients. Hotdog bread is basically just based on a nice and smooth flour dough with butter and milk. I typically make the simple and traditional hotdog bread with all-purpose flour. However, if you are looking for some more filling and a bit healthier bread you can easily substitute about 1/4 of the traditional flour with a whole-wheat flour, which has a higher amount of dietary fiber. Whole-wheat flour gives the bread a bit more texture and a more filling effect.

Besides being relatively simple to make, these homemade hotdog breads are also very delicious and much better compared to the factory and uniform produced bread you can purchase at the supermarket. These hotdog breads are nice and airy on the inside while crisp and golden on the outside. In addition, these homemade breads have a homemade-look, which is one of the great things of making your only food. A hotdog made with a homemade bread just taste better!

Serve the hotdogs with some sausages, fried onions, pickled cucumber or maybe some pickled red onions

Recipe for Homemade Hotdog Bread
As mentioned above, it is relatively easy to make your own and homemade hotdog bread. In a large bowl, you start by dissolving some fresh yeast. You can also use dry yeast just add this to you flour instead.
Assemble the dough with the flour, sugar and salt. Add the cold and diced butter and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes. Set the dough aside and let it rise for about 40 minutes.
Now divide the dough into 10 pieces and flatten each of them in rectangular pieces with a length of about 10 cm (4 inch). Fold the dough two times on the long side - this folding makes the bread more airy on the inside. Transfer the bread to a parchment paper covered oven plate. Place the bread side-by-side with a distance in between of about 1 cm (1/3 inch). Set the dough aside one more time and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
Brush the bread with a beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake them for 10 minutes in a 210 C (410 F) preheated oven.
Let the bread cool off a little before serving them with your favorite sausages and other accessories.

    What hot dogs did you use? Did you make them or buy them?

      I normally use sausages which are prepared for a barbecue. In Denmark we call them "Barbecue sausages". Maybe you can find some similar where you live? Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

    If using dry yeast do you still use the same amount of milk
