A quick and easy hot dog buns recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup milk

  warm
• 2¾ cups flour
• ½ tsp Salt
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbsp butter

  Melted

Instructions

• 1 Mix the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm milk and leave to proof—about 5
  minutes.
• 2 Combine two and a half cups of flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• 3 Add the proofed yeast, one egg, and melted butter, and use a sturdy spoon to mix
  until everything comes together in a rough, shaggy mass of dough.
• 4 Cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and leave to rest for five
  minutes.
• 5 Remove the lid, turn the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead,
  gradually adding the leftover quarter cup of flour – your dough will still be
  soft, but don’t be tempted to add more flour.
• 6 Return the dough to the bowl and grease the surface with a bit of oil or melted
  butter, cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, and leave to rest for
  30 minutes.
• 7 Punch down the dough to remove any trapped air and transfer it back to a lightly
  floured work surface.
• 8 Divide the dough into eight pieces, roll each out about 6 inches long, and pinch
  down the sides and ends.
• 9 Place the buns, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• 10 Make the egg wash by whisking one egg, then brush the buns with the egg wash.
• 11 Cover the loaves and leave them to rise for 15minutes. They should become nicely
  puffy.
• 12 Place in a 350F preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
