Father's Day Plans: Spiral Cut Hot Dogs....

[luvnit]

Spiral cut hot dogs and homemade buns! I have got to try this. I love the reason for the spiral cut: More nooks and crannies for the toppings, more surface area to crisp on the grill, dogs always fit the bun...

This looks like a great Father's Day idea! On Father's Day I planned a trip to an old fashioned 'sausage house' in very rural Minnesota. An iconic place around here. And breakfast at a country cafe.

That is a great idea! And I am drooling at the buns in the background. I cannot find a bakery that makes fresh hot dog buns and I don't like mass produced ones but I find if I put a little butter on them and put them in the toaster oven (versus the grill) it makes them a little more palatable.

Actually, this whole article started with those buns! Those are fresh, homemade hotdog buns (which I will try to make also) Here is a link to the actual article.

I made a half batch of these buns yesterday, but had to improvise. I only had regular yeast, so couldn't get them done in the time she was expounding over. And, wanting to have an even amount, I made 4 bigger than they should have been. Next time I'll make them smaller (used ~4 oz. dough for each). But, they do have great flavor.

We got side-tracked about dinner time and just slapped the dog in the bun for dinner, so picture is ridiculous, but it was nice to have a bun the length of Costco dogs.





I'll make these again, that's for sure. And, it looks like a blog that I ought browse thru.
