How to Make Easy Good Homemade Hot Dog Buns

  1. The night before, tightly wrap 1 (1-pound) frozen loaf of bread dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Next morning, let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften slightly.
  3. Unwrap the dough and cut the loaf lengthwise down the center.
  4. Cut each long piece into 3 equal sections, making 6 equal pieces total.
  5. Gently pinch the cut edges together to create smooth, sealed buns. Roll each section into a slightly oblong rope, about the size of a cooked hot dog.
  6. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Brush the buns with half of 1/4 cup melted butter.
  8. Loosely cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap, sealing the edges to the sheet to prevent air from getting inside.
  9. Let the buns rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 45-60 minutes).
  10. Lightly brush each bun with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds (optional).
  11. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
  12. Cool the buns on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
