Oven Hot Dog

I created this recipe because my family loves hot dog.

• Ready In: 1 hr 22 mins
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 16 hot dogs

Ingredients

• 1  cup hot water
• 2  eggs
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 cup  oil
• 1  teaspoon  italian seasoning (optional)
• 1  cup bread flour
• 2  teaspoons  yeast
• 2 1⁄3 cups bread flour
• 14  ounces  beef  franks (I like Nathan's skinless bigger than the bun, package with 8)
• 1  cup  shredded cheese (sharp cheddar)

Directions

1. - Blend hot water, eggs, salt, sugar, oil, Italian seasoning and 1 cup of flour only first.
2. Note: I use hot water, because I keep my eggs in the fridge, so I compensate with hot water - we need the mix to be warm to activate the yeast.
3. - Add yeast and blend for 3 seconds, just to mix.
4. - Put the rest of the flour (2 1/3) in a bowl and pour the blended mix on top.
5. - Mix with a spoon and then with your hands.
6. - Spray 2 medium pans with olive oil.
7. - Make 16 balls and arrange them like 1 inch apart.
8. - Let it rest for about 1 hour (I use the fast rising yeast), check the time you need on your yeast label).
9. - Cut your hot dogs in half making 16.
10. - Using a roll open each ball to a 6x4" "rectangular" shape.
11. - Spread about 1 tbsp of cheese on top, add the hot dog and roll it with the dough.
12. - Bake for 12 min at 425º F or until the top is golden.
