Description
Soft, fluffy bakery-style hot dog buns made with a simple no-knead sourdough method. With minimal hands-on time, natural fermentation develops rich flavor and tender texture. Perfect for cookouts or weeknight meals, these buns stay fresh longer and can be customized with whole wheat, seeds, or dairy-free swaps. Just mix, rest, shape, bake, and enjoy homemade artisan-quality buns without kneading.
