Ingredients
For 6 Serving(s)
For the dough
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 5 cups water (for boiling)
- 4 tbsp baking soda
For the filling and topping
- 6 sausages/hotdogs
- topping of choice e.g. salt and dry herbs, shredded cheese, sesame seeds, garlic and butter
Directions
- In a bowl, add flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt and oil.
- Start adding the lukewarm water gradually and knead well to form a dough. Keep kneading for 8-10 minutes.
- Place the prepared dough in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm and dry place to rise for approximately 1 hour.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, knead it back for a minute, and put it on a floured surface. Divide dough into 6 equal parts.
- Take one part and roll it into a long strip of about 10-12 inches in length.
- Wrap this strip around a sausage to cover it in a spiral form, make it taught and pinch the ends so that the dough will stick. Make sure a little bit of sausage is exposed in both sides when you wrap the dough.
- Repeat step 3 with the rest of the dough and sausages.
- In a big pot, add 5 cups of water and baking soda and bring it to a rolling boil.
- When the water is boiling, drop the buns in the water and let it boil for 4-5 minutes. Keep lightly turning the buns while boiling to make sure it gets well boiled.
- Lay the boiled buns on a greased tray covered with parchment paper. Whisk the egg yolk and brush it over the buns.
- Add any topping you desire over the buns. I have sprinkled some pink salt along with some dried herbs.
- Bake at 220°C for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
