This recipe was very good! I used 4 cups of my home-ground whole-wheat flour plus 1/4 cup of Vital Wheat Gluten to make the buns. We were very pleased with them.

Based on other readers rave reviews, I'm sure it is just me and not the recipe, but mine came out really bad. I salvaged a few and just ate them with jelly, but they came out nothing like buns, more like hard biscuits and still weren't even cooked in the middle.

These taste great and even after freezing, they are still excellent. I don't make these nearly as often I should - could eat them just as they are!

It took a lot of rising time for me to get good hot dog buns, simply because my kitchen wasn't warm enough. If I had taken them outside (in summer) to let them rise, the original time would have been sufficient and the buns might have been a touch sweeter. But I had plenty of time to let them rise and the other reviews suggested they might need it, so I wasn't worried. I made 16 hot dog buns. I weighed the portions to get even sizes, but I still ended up with a few that were too skinny, so they became breadsticks for dinner (coated with garlic butter, yum!). I used whole wheat flour for a portion of the flour (less than half). These were substantial buns, not the airy nothings you get from the store. I was pleased with them and my husband says he'd be happy to have them again. Half of them are in the freezer now to be used one-at-a-time for lunches.

I used half whole wheat flour and they still turned out great! I brushed egg on the top and added sesame seeds to give them the authentic look. ;) Next time I will put the oven on a lower temperature and leave them in a little longer as the buns burned on the bottom but seemed barely baked on the top.

These were really easy and really good. After we ate our sandwiches with them, we ate the rest as just bread rolls. Yummy! The only thing I would do different is maybe add a bit more sugar next time. Thanks for the great recipe!

Overall a very nice recipe. Better for hamburger buns, but in a pinch, or for those of us who really are sick of the store bought junk, good enough for hot dog buns. I do not use instant yeast so for anyone else who does not, bloom your yeast in the ½c water and add the sugar about 2 minutes before your ready to start mixing everything to get the yeast good and activated. Make sure your milk is good and warm as well. For hamburger buns the given directions were excellent. For hot dog buns tho, I cut the dough into 16th's (roughly), or by weight (0.076kg = 76g = 2.68oz). I then roll them around the counter in a cupped hand to form a nice ball, which I then roll out into a snake, like playdough. I tap the ends a bit to make them flat, then proof them for 30-35 minutes. If you flatten them much they tend to stay flatish. We actually poke a hole down the middle of the finished product and push the dogs in, instead of cutting them in half. I would like to thank Sally for submitting this recipe.

They're good, but they taste more like dinner rolls than hamburger buns. Still trying to find the perfect recipe. These aren't bad, just not as good as I'd hoped.

These are very dinner roll"ish" but, family loved them. Brushed the top with butter. Made in the bread machine until step 3. Saved me from running to the store, thanks! Next time I think I'll try bread flour.

Easy and delicious! As per other's suggestions, I used bread flour and let them rise for a bit longer than suggested. I also brushed them with clarified butter half way through baking. They do not come out like the buns you'd buy in the bread section of your grocery store, more like the kind of buns you pick up at the bakery. I will be making these again and again. Thanks!
