Hot Dog Flower Buns

Hot Dog Flower Buns

I had never seen nor heard of Hot Dog Flower Buns until a trip to Hong Kong many years ago for a friend’s wedding. I was travelling on my own at the time and happened to walk past a Chinese-style bakery with many delicious-looking cakes and bread. And even though I was on my own, I walked out with two large bags of cake slices and buns which eventually became my breakfast for the rest of the week.

One such delight tucked among my purchases was a Hot Dog Flower Bun, which I initially thought was a sweet bun (the bakery only had signs in Chinese). These buns were a happy discovery!

Hot Dog Flower Buns are like Pigs-In-Blanket, but in a different shape. And before you ask, a Pig-In-Blanket is a hot dog sausage baked inside bread dough or puff pastry.

They are a fun way of eating hot dogs, and my kids love breaking off the “petals” to savor each bite.

Ingredients:
For the Dough
  • 400 g (2 2/3 cup) white bread flour
  • 55 g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 9 g instant dried yeast
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk, warmed to 37°C/98°F
  • 40 g (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

For the Sausage Filling
  • 12 hot dog sausages

For the Egg Wash
  • 1 egg
  • dash of milk

To Decorate
  • Sesame seeds
  • chives or spring onions (scallions)

To Serve
  • Tomato sauce (ketchup)
  • Mustard
