Why incorporate Sourdough into Hawaiian buns?
Sourdoughs’ unique texture and flavor is something we like to add to our baking when we can. It not only makes for high quality bread, but is also known for it’s “health benefits” in terms of being easier to digest. Plus, no additional yeast or bread flour is needed to make a sourdough starter – the starting ingredients are just water and flour. Overall, we prefer this way of bread making.

Questions People are asking about Hawaiian Hot Dog Buns
The taste outweighs the aesthetics in this recipe 🙂 As long as the dough is thick enough to cut in half and long enough to lay a hot dog in, you are good to go! Same thing goes for making hamburger buns.
Yes, you can freeze the dough at different stages in the process
1. Freeze the dough after it rises completely – you can either shape the dough and then freeze it or just keep it in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the seal on the dough is completely airtight when you do this.
2. You can choose to just freeze the buns after baking them. Like freezing a loaf of bread, take them out to thaw/warm up when you are ready to eat them.
The dough also can stay in the fridge if you are making the recipe only a day or two before baking.
Simply switch out your baking dish – place your dough into a bread pan and bake for about the same time (20 – 25 minutes).
