Hot Dog/hamburger Buns

[Guest maddiesmom]

Ok... I ordered some g.f hamburger & hot dog buns over the net.. the Ener G brand... paid 5.00 for each and there are only four in each bag... and they are not so great.. very dry.. I just tried to eat a hot dog bun and had to choke it down. I can probably manage with the hamburger buns if I make my own bread... but what about the hot dogs. I tried wrapping one in a corn tortilla shell and the shell was really thin. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Hi!

I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately. two ideas come to mind 1) trying a bread recipe that produces a dough that is thick enough to form with hands and rolling the buns and placing on the pan. 2) the other idea is a hotdog pan Open Original Shared Link.

We've tried making forms out of tin foil and filling them with dough/batter - but they came out all lumpy and miserable. I think I will try idea #1 this weekend using a very simple rice flour and tapioca recipe. I will let you know how it goes.

The recipe listed here on this link would probably work pretty well, too. I've used a similar combination of gluten free flours before and it tastes very similar to plain white bread:

Also corn dogs would probably taste pretty good gluten free since the main flavor is cornmeal:

Also, substitute a gluten free corn bread recipe (like the one from Pamela's Products Ultimate Baking & Pancake Mix) and make something like this:

We also just eat hot dogs without the buns, too.

And awhile back I had read up about this recipe and it's supposed to be a cinch. I haven't tried it yet, but others really liked it:
