Hot Dog Buns Recipe

  1. Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter with the honey in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Whisk in the milk and gently heat the mixture to 110 degrees F, or until it feels very warm to your finger.
  3. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast over the top, stir, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, flour, sugar, and salt.
  5. Attach the dough hook and knead on medium speed for 5 minutesthe resulting dough will be soft and sticky.
  6. Dump the dough onto the counter, form into a ball, and place in a medium bowl that youve previously oiled.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free spot until the dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  8. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Dump the dough onto a floured work surface.
  10. Divide it into 8 to 10 equal pieces (8 pieces will be generous-sized buns, 10 will be a bit smaller; a scale is great for dividing the dough into perfectly equal pieces).
  11. Roll each piece into a ball, then shape the ball into a log 5 to 6 inches long.
  12. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  13. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  14. Brush the dough pieces with half of the melted butter.
  15. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, set aside in a warm place, and let stand until puffy, about 1 hour.
  16. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  17. Bake until the buns are golden, about 18 minutes.
  18. As soon as the buns are out of the oven, brush with the remaining melted butter.
