New England Hot Dog Buns

I've always been curious about New England Style Hot Dog Buns. What makes them unique is that they stand up straight and are filled from the top, and the sides are buttered and grilled. These New England hot dog buns are also famously used for lobster rolls and other seafood salad sandwiches.

The buns are baked in one continuous flat loaf, and then cut into buns and split on the top. To prepare them for serving, you butter the split sides and grill them in a pan like the bread for grilled cheese.

This dough for New England hot dog buns is enriched with milk, sugar or non-diastatic malt powder, butter, and an egg. It has an almost brioche-like flavor and texture. The buns were wonderful served with beef hot dogs adorned only with mustard, pickles, and onions. To make these buns, I purchased this USA Pans New England Hot Dog Pan. I was looking for an excuse to get the pan, so when Christie of A Kitchen Hoors' Adventure rounded up a few of us to post hot dog recipes, it was all I needed to "justify" getting one.

If you don't want to get the pan, all you need to do is rig up a pan, or combination of pans, to create the equivalent of a 15 by 6 by 1 1/2 inch pan to make these. I think that you could do it with disposable foil pans actually. There are so many shapes and sizes available, and they are bendy enough to customize for these buns. This was the first time I've worked with this dough, and I probably could have better smoothed out the dough before loading it into the pan. Regardless, the resulting buns were delicious.

I'm looking forward to using the pan to making different versions of New England Hot Dog buns. I'm planning on trying buns with a tangzhong next. Stay tuned..... These buns were delicious on the day I made them. To keep any leftovers, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and place them in the freezer in a freezer bag for up to two months.

After the recipe for the buns, you will find delicious hot dog recipes to fill these buns!
