Hot Dog Buns

[jayfurr]

Amateur but aspiring baker that I am, it's bothered me that I can make my own bread for most purposes but hadn't had a lot of luck producing worthwhile hot dog buns. I'll spare you the details and cut to the essential point of this post: I finally snapped and ordered a hot dog bun pan from King Arthur Flour. It's used for baking "New England" style hot dog buns, the kind with the slit on the top as opposed to the side.

I made my first batch using the pan this evening, going out for a walk during the first rise and going back to pick up the car (long story) during the second rise:



They look good. Tomorrow night we'll have wurst of some kind in homemade buns. Yum!

And I'm sure they'll taste as good as they look. Hope you're enjoying the pan - PJ Hamel, King Arthur Flour

Wow, that was a fast response. Does King Arthur Flour have a net team that sits around lookin' for blog posts that mention the company? :)

You ordered a fucking hot dog bun pan? Criminy, you sound as bad as me. Actually worse. :)
