Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 8 good quality hot dogs
• 2 cups of flour for the bread
• 1/2 cup of warm milk
• 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 egg for the bread mixture
• 1 egg for egg wash
• 1/4 cup of melted butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• Ketchup and mustard for serving (optional)

For this recipe, you’ll be needing a baking sheet, a clean kitchen towel, and a pastry brush.

The yeast is crucial for the rise of the bread roll while the sugar adds just a hint of sweetness to balance out the smoky hotdogs. For our vegan friends, the hot dogs can be replaced with vegan alternatives and the egg can be swapped with 1/4 cup of mashed bananas.

How To Make Twisted Hot Dog Rolls

1. Start by activating the yeast with warm milk and sugar. This process is vital as it will help fluffy up your bread roll. Wait until it gets all frothy.
2. Combine the yeast mixture with flour, melted butter, egg, and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
3. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and let it rise. Someone beautifully said – “Let there be rise!” and it aptly applies here, too!
4. Once doubled, punch down the dough and roll it out. Cut it into long strips to wrap around the dogs. Warning: This part is fun and highly addictive!
5. Place the rolled dogs on your baking sheet, give them a nice egg wash, and into the oven they go. The anticipation is real!
6. Once golden brown, remove from the oven and let them cool. Congratulations! You now have homemade Twisted Hot Dog Rolls. Let���s chow down!
