Time 3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

Place the water, canola oil, flour, sugar, salt, vital wheat gluten, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the Dough cycle, and turn on the machine. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
When the cycle is finished, remove the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the dough into 12 equal-size pieces, and roll the dough into balls by cupping your hand, with open fingers, over each piece of dough. Roll gently, with just a little pressure, to form a dough ball with a silky surface. Place the dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, and flatten each dough ball gently into a bun. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on racks before slicing.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup milk
½ cup water
¼ cup butter
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 egg

Steps:

In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

Tips:

For the hot dog cake, use a cake mix that is chocolate or red velvet flavored. This will give the cake a more realistic appearance.
When assembling the hot dog cake, be sure to use a sharp knife to cut the hot dog buns in half. This will help to prevent the buns from breaking.
If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before spreading it on the cake. This will make it easier to spread and will help it to adhere to the cake better.
To make the burger cake, use a cake mix that is vanilla or chocolate flavored. You can also use a box of brownie mix to make the burger patties.
When assembling the burger cake, be sure to use a sharp knife to cut the burger patties in half. This will help to prevent the patties from breaking.
You can use any type of frosting you like for the burger cake. Chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, or cream cheese frosting are all good options.
