Halved the recipe to make 8 hot dog buns. I got busy and distracted while these were rising, so I ended up letting them rise for one hour, punching down and letting rise for another hour before shaping them into buns. The flavor was very good and made regular hot dogs taste like a treat. I'll never buy buns again!

These are awesome chewy, fudgy brownies. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9 x 13 baking dish; didn't even bother with the topping because I didn't have the ingredients, but I did add about 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I made them for my younger son's birthday and my older son has requested them for his birthday as well. This time I might have to triple the recipe so that I actually get to eat one!

My 6-year old loves pepperoni pizza, so I made this as a pre-birthday treat. I make my own pizza dough and had some leftover, so I used it instead of the frozen bread dough. Here's a tip to help avoid excess grease (especially if you are a pepperoni purist like me and won't use turkey pepperoni) - lay pepperoni out on a double layer of paper towels and microwave for 15 - 20 seconds, then cover with 2 more paper towels and blot. I do this when I make pizza and had very little grease when I baked my bread. Brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with a little garlic powder and kosher salt before baking. Great appetizer - I'll be making this for Super Bowl.
