The hot dog has long been on the list of the most popular fast dishes. And if before it was considered ordinary street food, now you can enjoy it even in expensive establishments. But why pay more if the most delicious, dense hot dog can be cooked just at home?

How to make a hot dog at home

If you eat this simple dish with pleasure, then you probably want to know how to make it no worse than the purchased one, or maybe even better. Let's take a closer look at what cooking methods exist.

Hot Dog Buns

Hot dog buns should be quite lush, with a slightly sweetish flavor, but not too saturated so as not to interrupt the taste of the filling itself.

Of course, you can purchase finished products, but they do not always live up to expectations. In addition, it is not clear what they are made of.

To make buns you will need:

  • 25 grams of sugar;
  • 500 grams of flour;
  • a glass of water and as much milk;
  • 50 grams of butter;
  • tsp salts;
  • four grams of dry yeast.

Cooking process:

  1. Warm milk and water to about 30 degrees and mix.
  2. Put the indicated amount of yeast into this mixture and let it sit for about five minutes. After this time, pour 250 grams of flour and remove the dough in a warm place.
  3. After about 30 minutes, add the remaining flour, sugar, salt and ghee, mix well. Allow the test to brew for about two hours, while not forgetting to knead it every half hour.
  4. From the resulting mass, form buns of suitable shape and length. Put them on a baking sheet, leave for 15 minutes and then bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.

Sausages for cooking

Of course, homemade sausages for hot dogs would be the most delicious, but, unfortunately, the process of their preparation is quite long and laborious. It is much easier to buy them, but at the same time to prepare them correctly.

  • When choosing a product, be sure to pay attention to its freshness.
  • Sausages can be specially designed for hot dogs or any other, but it is better to choose those that can be cooked on the grill or bonfire.
  • If you don’t have any fire or barbecue at hand, don’t be upset. Sausages can be simply boiled, fried in an ordinary frying pan or sent for a few minutes in the microwave, if they are already smoked.

In principle, you can take any sausages to your liking. The main condition is that they must be of high quality, because this is the main ingredient in the snack.
