Anyone know where to get decent hot dog buns? I can only find crappy ass wonder bread style white bread and crappy ass wonder bread style white bread that we dyed brown to make it look like wheat buns. Rolls are often too large for the dog.
Been craving a good hot dog for awhile and every time I try to fulfill it the bun falls so short.
-
just go to a local bakery
bingo. I get my hot dog buns and burger rolls at a baker.

He meant the wonder bread bakery :D

I mean, don't get me wrong Steve, you just don't seem like the type of guy who would do that. Actually, I don't think I know a single person that gets hot dog buns at a bakery!
I can believe getting bread from a bakery, and even using fresh baked rolls for burgers, but hot dog buns? come on.
But speaking of bread - what do you guys get? We DO get fresh baked bread only - from a Polish bakery - it is awesome and has poppy seeds on the crust. We also really like fresh baked sourdough and ciabbata (sp?) from this supermarket called Mariano's.
I don't think I have ever purchased a wonderbread type bread in my life. Hot dog buns and burger buns are a different story.

I go here: http://www.rocklandbakery.com/
Fresh bagels right off the line are amaaaaazing.
-
I've gotten hot dog rolls from a baker before but only for brats since they're a lot bigger than hot dogs and don't fit hot dog buns as well.
I get my bread from Great Harvest - it's a lot more expensive than the store but I only buy bread once a month or so.

I'm a great value brand guy 99.9% of the time. I take my time with my grill very seriously though and a great burger or brat can be ruined or at least diminished by a shitty bun or roll. So I actually go out of my way for this one. Close to 40 miles out of my way actually (round trip).

Speaking of breads...
I am making bread today/'tomorrow. I have the poolish bubbling now. It will be a whole grain white flour mix with fresh dill added for fun and excitement.
Anybody else make it by hand rather than a bread machine? I am actually going to have to use a mixer tomorrow as kneading it will be too rough on the shoulder.
-
I have never made it without the machine, unless you count pizza dough

Yeah, growing up we used to make bread by hand. I think I only hand kneaded one christmas cause we were making a lot of stuff. That is hard work.
-
It is tough work, but only for a couple minutes. The time comes in waiting for all of the risings.
Think you will ever do it again?
-
For bread? Probably not. For baking Christmas treats? Yeah.
-
I've only baked bread a couple times but I've never used a breadmaker.
-
I have never baked bread.

Come on man, bread is the staff of life. Everyone should learn to make bread

my friend's wife has an awesome bread maker and she makes some pretty tasty stuff. My wife LOVES good bread - I was thinking about getting her a bread maker for our anniversary. Then I'll join your fancy bread-making club.

speaking of bread makers - what can you recommend?
This (http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/zbrandskiosk/kitchen/foodnetwork_new/electrics/PRD~636495/Food+Network+Programmable+Breadmaker.jsp) is what our friends have and they really like it.
The most popular model on amazon is this panasonic (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-SD-YD250-Automatic-Bread-Maker/dp/B00005QFL0/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1340225297&sr=1-1)

This is ours...
http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-BB-CEC20-Supreme-2-Pound-Loaf-Breadmaker/dp/B002XVUAOU/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1340226383&sr=1-6&keywords=zojirushi
It is very popular and we have had it for years. Ours is white.
That said, I have never had bread from ours or any other bread maker that even comes close to what you can do by hand. Thus the reason we use the maker only when we have to these days. Making your own isn't difficult and takes about the same amount of time. By the way that is about 3.5 hours depending on the recipe.
Try your own. I will post a vid or two for you to see that it is not bad.

You can always buy one if you don't like what you make. Also, borrow the maker your friends have and try it out. We have lent ours ours out for that reason a couple of times.
Good luck. Lots and lots of great recipes out there for makers, mixers, or by hand.
-
BTW, most break makers have a setting for kneading the dough which is nice.

I was thinking about making some foccaccia this weekend. Now I feel like I need to

My mother in law makes a banana and also a zucchini/squash bread that makes my heart melt.

As in, weren't you not married?
-
OH now i get it. We aren't married yet, we want to wait until after we buy the house. Hopefully we can decide on one for good soon because if we look at too many more that I love and she hates I'm going to scream.
I have been calling her my mother in law for a long time, habit

BTW, I got this model last week. It was on sale for $109.99 plus I had a 20% off coupon and I got $10 Kolhs bucks! you can't beat that deal. Now I have to keep it at work for the next two months so that she doesn;t see it :)

I'm taking a shot at making the zucchini bread this week
-
so I made my first bread from scratch today - ciabatta. Came out tasting very good; nice crust, and soft middle. Was hoping for more air bubbles inside, but perhaps the "sponge" didn't grow big enough :dunno: I have a slight yeast after taste too...
but I think for a first time ever making bread (without a bread machine) it rocks. However, I will probably not be making it again. Too much time which I don't have. 24 hours for the sponge. 2 hours more to wait after sponge is mixed with the other ingredients. 2 more after the loafs are made. and then the cooking time. Ef that. I don't think it is worth it.
I'll try another bread type for sure. But something that takes less time to make which I can easily do in an evening.
-
The yeast taste will fade with practice
