Read our disclosure policy. These Jalapeno Cheddar Hot Dog Buns are made using soft, pillow-like bread, ooey-gooey cheese, a jalapeรฑo kick and a juicy all beef hot dog. Cheesy Hot Dog Bread Buns Inspired by my favorite green onion-hot dog buns from the Asian bakeries, I set out to make a fluffy and soft bread. This bread recipe is super easy and fast to make. Unlike most breads that require multiple rising and resting times, this one takes a 30 minute time out and that’s it. Make the dough, let it rest, and then roll up the hot dogs. Simple, easy, quick. Once dough is ready, divide it into 6 equal parts. Keep dough covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out while you assembly the hot dogs buns one a time. Roll dough out to about 12-inches in length. Place 3-4 jalapeรฑo slices on dough and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Place hot dog at the bottom end of the dough and roll up. Pinch the end seams closed. Arrange hot dog buns on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place 3 jalapeรฑo slices on top of bun and sprinkle with cheese. You will add additional jalapeรฑo slices once the bread has expanded in the oven, providing more surface area. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and lightly brush with egg wash. Add additional jalapeรฑo slices and shredded cheese. Bake for another 15 minutes until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted. Serve warm and enjoy immediately!

Lorna says: September 18, 2021 Love this recipe so much, I always add extra jalapeรฑos because my hubby said not enough heat. One time I used Tex-Mex for cheese, was good too. Lately I have been using bread flour. Reply
