This is IMO the right answer. The typical sweet, white hotdog bun is not far away from being disgusting. Imagine eating a Feuerwurst with this 🤮 I just don’t like the taste of the sweet white bread.
But I have to agree it would technically be a better solution than a Brötchen. Maybe we should reinvent the wheel and use another dough to make them more appealing to people that like more traditional bread 🤔
not all hotdog buns are the same. just as not all sausages are the same. a hotdog bun out of other bread is possible if you are willing to admit your method of not getting meat on your hands in inferior to one that was seemingly purpose built.
Unless you have freakishly wide hands or a very drippy sauce you only really need something that works for the whole hand.
i dont know why you would suggest fashioning a bread glove to cover the whole hand is better than a hot dog bun but i support it
Yeah, I was gonna say, aren't traditional hot dog buns with sugar and the consistency of a sponge?
You can get proper bread buns in a longer shape, but they have a higher surface area compared to the volume, so they're often harder when fresh and dry out more quickly, too.
These "Baguettbrötchen" for crisping at home might work.
edit: nvm - most of them are quite short
edit2: They are sold either with 6 or with 4 buns in it. The 4 bun version is a bit longer.
