This hot dog bun recipe is nice and soft and can also be used to make hamburger buns. My husband says they are "top of the line."

If making burger buns: Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls; place on a greased baking sheet and flatten slightly. Cover and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
If making hot dog buns: Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 6x4-inch rectangle. Starting with a long side, roll up tightly, then pinch edges and ends to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 to 25 minutes.

Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
