ALL-AMERICAN BURGER DOG
This 'burger dog' is far more than a hot dog-shaped cheeseburger. It's a one-handed wonder that's perfectly proportioned and easier to eat than a regular cheeseburger.

Steps:
- Place half the ground beef on a sheet of plastic wrap. Pat it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 1/2 inches long, and 4 inches wide. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef into a log, using the plastic wrap as a guide. Season with more salt and pepper. Wrap the plastic tightly around the log and twist both ends tight. Pat gently to slightly flatten. Repeat with remaining ground beef.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the burger dogs from the plastic wrap and place on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Cook until burgers are browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each burger dog and grill to medium doneness (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest 3 to 4 minutes.
- Toast hot dog buns on the grill and spread each with 2 teaspoons mayonnaise. Place burger dog on each bun and squirt 1 tablespoon of ketchup on top.

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.

Steps:
- Put the milk, butter and 100ml water in a pan and gently heat until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool until just warm.
- Tip the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl and gradually work in the milk mixture, then the egg, until you have a smooth dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface or into a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until elastic and shiny. Divide into 12 (about 80g each) pieces and roll into tight balls. Transfer to baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space between them, and put in a warm place to prove for 30-45 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Press the rolls down gently using your hands, then brush over some milk and scatter over the sesame seeds, if you like (or, dust with some flour). Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool completely, then serve. Make up to two days ahead and keep in an airtight container.

HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS
There's nothing better with your burgers than homemade buns. For a heartier bun substitute 1 cups of whole wheat flour for 1 cup all-purpose flour. I've written the instructions for use with a stand mixer, however you can knead by hand. Prep time includes rising. Recipe comes from Peter Reinhart's 'The Bread Baker's Apprentice'. These are hearty buns, perfect for bratwurst and BBQ sandwiches. Note: Milk can be substituted for the buttermilk, and will slightly affect the final outcome, so experiment and see which one you like best. The same is true with the different types of fat.

Steps:
- In a large mixer bowl, blend together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
- Pour in the egg, butter and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and mix on low speed with the paddle attachment until all the flour is absorbed and the dough forms a ball. If dough seems very stiff and dry, add additional buttermilk until the dough is soft and supple.
- With dough hook, knead dough on medium speed until soft, supple, and tacky, but not sticky. Continue kneading until the dough clears the sides of the bowl (may stick slightly to the bottom).
- Lighly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, turning over to coat it with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
- Remove dough from bowl and divide into 12 pieces, 3 ounces each.
- Shape each piece into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go.
- Place on lined baking sheets.
- Mist the dough lightly with spray oil and cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.
- For hamburger buns: gently press down on the rolls to form the desired shape.
- For hot dog buns: gently roll the dough on floured surface until elongated to about 4 inches; transfer to lined baking sheets.
- Mist tops of buns with spray oil and loosely cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Allow dough to rise at room temperature for 60 to 90 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush tops of the buns with egg wash and garnish with sesame or poppy seeds.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they are golden brown (interior temperature should register 180 degrees in the center).
- When the buns are done, remove immediately from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack; This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Tips:
- Activate yeast properly: Always check the expiration date of your yeast and make sure it's active before using it. To activate dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water (105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the dough correctly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a smooth, elastic dough. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and springs back when you press it.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on or in a microwave with a cup of hot water.
- Shape the buns properly: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased baking pan.
- Bake the buns at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for burger or hot dog buns is 375°F. Bake them for 15-20 minutes or until they're golden brown.
- Let the buns cool before serving: Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Homemade burger or hot dog buns are a delicious and satisfying addition to any backyard barbecue or picnic. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create soft, fluffy buns that are perfect for your favorite toppings. Following these tips and experimenting with different recipes, you'll be able to master the art of bun-making and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
