Dough
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 large egg
Hot dogs
- 6 large hot dogs
- 2 green onions
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 egg for egg wash
In a small bowl mix the water, yeast and sugar together and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it starts bubbling.
In another larger bowl, mix the flour with the salt.
In a small bowl melt the butter and add the egg and whisk it well.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour, including the yeast mixture and mix. You can use your mixer here, but I just kneaded the dough by hand. Add more flour as needed, I used 2 cups of flour, but if you need more, just add some more. Place the dough in an oiled bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest until it doubles in size.
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Roll out each piece into a small rectangle and place a hot dog in the middle of the dough, then just wrap the dough around the hot dog, covering it well.
Cut each covered hot dog, into ½ inch pieces, cut the hot dog all the way through, but stop as you reach the dough. Take each piece and roll it out and shape it into a flower as in the picture below.
Repeat with remaining hot dogs. Place rolls on a baking lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Brush each roll with egg wash and top with cheddar cheese, parsley and green onions.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- The type of hot dog you use matters. Opt for all-beef or your preferred variety for best results.
- While cheddar cheese is recommended, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Make sure to let the yeast mixture bubble before proceeding, as this is crucial for dough rise.
