Ingredients: (to make 24 hotdog rolls or 48 hotdog bites)
Dough:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup very warm water (approximately 35 C or 100 F)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2.5 - 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup plain yogurt
Filling:
- 24 Hotdogs (whole, or cut in half)
Topping: (optional)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions:
Dough
- To activate the yeast: in a medium bowl, add the yeast, the sugar, and the warm water. Stir it and set it aside. After about 5 -10 minutes, the yeast will foam up and double in size.
- If using a stand mixer: Transfer the yeast mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer, and add to it all the other ingredients. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low for 5 minutes until the dough become into a smooth ball. Add flour if the dough is too sticky.
OR
- If using hands: Transfer the yeast mixture into a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients, and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes dry.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured flat surface. Using your clean hands, knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, adding flour if necessary, until dough become a smooth ball, and doesn’t stick to your fingers or the surface.
- Cut the dough into two equal sections and form each dough into a ball.
- Place each dough in a greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Place the bowls in a warm place, away from air as much as possible, and let it rest until it doubles in size.
Hotdog bites/rolls
- Pre-heat oven to 200 C or 400 F.
- When dough is ready, transfer it onto a floured surface.
- Knead with your hands a few times to get the air out, then cut in 24 equal pieces.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough ball into a 2”x3” rectangle
- Place the whole hotdog on the edge of the dough and roll the dough around it, pinching the end of the dough.
- Place the hotdog roll on a greased baking tray, pinched side down.
- Note: while working on rolling, cover the dough balls with plastic wrap or a tea towel in order not to dry.
- If making hotdog bites, cut the dough ball in half, and cut the hotdog in half.
- Repeat this process until all the hotdog rolls are done.
- To make the egg wash, whisk the egg with ½ cup of water, and brush the top of the hotdog rolls with it.
- Then sprinkle sesame seeds on each hotdog bite/roll.
- Bake for approximately 18 minutes for the hotdog bites, and about 23 minutes for the hotdog rolls.
- And enjoy!

Wallah I LOVE BAKING! This dough is truly the best dough. It also looks like it would never go hard or dry like the other dough recipes I tried. I took a picture of them, but I don't think you can post pictures on here lol. I'm 19 by the way :) my name is wafa XD

hHe only thing that I do not like in your preparation that you are wearing manicure. My advice to remove it before working on the dough.
