It’s Canada Day, and that means hotdogs and hamburgers made on the grill in a backyard or in a park by some water close enough to the fireworks hours later. It’s how we do it north of the 49th, kids. And we like it this way!<\/p>\n

What we don’t like – or, what I should say I<\/strong><\/em> don’t like – is finding out our hotdog buns are moldy on a day when the stores are closed for a national holiday. It bums me out. But, because I discovered this problem very last night, I had lots of time today to make buns from scratch. Yes, I make bread, too. I make it ALL, baby.<\/p>\n

{evil laughter}<\/p>\n

I don’t have a stock bun recipe so I was planning to scour the innerweebs when Joy The Baker<\/a>, bless her generous heart, decided this was the weekend she was going to post about her homemade hotdog buns. It was meant to be. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"HotDogBuns-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From this…<\/p>\n

\"HotDogBuns-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To this.<\/p>\n

I halved the ingredient amounts to make a smaller batch than her recipe yields, but if you’re having a crowd over, Joy’s recipe will give you 18 regular 4″-5″ buns per batch. There’s still time to make a whole mess of these buns if you need more than that. They’re fast, straightforward and easy to make. I assure you. If you’ve ever kneaded dough before, you’ll be fine with this recipe. Pay attention to your type of yeast (I learned the hard way a month ago) and how to use it, and you should be fine.<\/p>\n

\"HotDogBuns-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I made half the batch with poppy seeds, fresh cracked pepper and big grains of salt, and the other half only got the coarse salt. I liked the salted one, and my husband loved the all dressed up one. I took care to make these buns a full 7″ so the overgrown Costco sausages the boy loves so much would be evenly matched up bite for bite. He complains a lot about rinky-dink store bought buns not being long enough. So, needless to say, he was happy with these buns in ever respect.<\/p>\n

Try these buns. You’ll love them. And they took me less than an hour – start to finish.<\/p>\n

OK, we’re off to hit a movie if we can, so enjoy your holiday, everyone.<\/p>\n
