20 portions

DBL-      Original recipe- 12 portions-

4.5 t      2 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast
2c         1 cup warm water
4T         2 tablespoon granulated sugar
4T         2 tablespoon oil (I used olive oil)
4-6c       2  1/2 – 3 cups all-purpose flour
4t           2 teaspoon salt


12 hot dogs
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

  1. In the bowl with a whisk, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water.  When the yeast becomes foamy, add  oil, 2-4 cups of the flour, and salt.  mix until combined.  Knead  for about 7 minutes, stopping to add flour (up to one cup more).  The dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl but not to the sides.  It should be slightly sticky with no visible flour.
  2. Remove the dough from the bowl, oil the bowl, and place the dough back into the bowl.  Cover and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Punch the dough down and roll into a log.  Cut the dough into 12 equal portions.  Roll each portion into eight-inch pieces, and twist around the hot dogs.  Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. To make the egg wash, whisk one egg with one tablespoon of milk.  Brush the top of each dough wrapped hot dog, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9/24/24 one time i added 2 c of dry regular oats to the blender and added that to the roll mixture, then added 3-4 c of white flour.
