Gluten Free Hot Dog Buns

I have bought the Kinnikinnick buns and I have made my own. Both of them would not hold up to a hot dog. They were crumbly and they broke. :angry: I did use the home made one a few days after I made them and they had been refrigerated. Does anyone know a good brand to buy or recipe to use to get a good hot dog bun? Does it exist? :blink:

Thanks!

I have not had any luck with those ones I have bought. I believe Guhlia made her own and had some success. Maybe she will share the recipe.

Hello! I just ate my first gluten-free hot dog bun last night and it wasn't bad....made by EnerG foods. The texture was pretty close to the real thing (just a bit more dense) and it held together great! I had the tapioca buns. They make a brown high fiber bun too. Open Original Shared Link B)

I totally agree!!! I LOVE the EnerG Hotdog buns! I order them from amazon (so it is 30 bucks or so, but I get 8 packs of 4 at a time). They are GREAT for hotdogs, sub sandwiches, and garlic bread. I am very pleased with these!!

The last time, I used a Fast & Fresh burger bun that I make up fresh. Their mixes come with a plastic mold and you mix up one bun at a time and microwave it, then toast it.

Since then, I've tried their pizza crust and and I think next time, I'm going to try wrapping a dog in the burger bun dough made in the pizza crust mold (it's a square about 5x5).

If the link doesn't work, go to Amazon and search on "Fast and Fresh"

The best tasting "bun" I've found is Whole Foods Sandwich bread toasted and wrapped around - it tastes exactly like those regular hot dog rolls they used to make that were shaped like slices of bread.

i had a thought. i've been craving hot dogs lately (don't ask me why...) and i was thinking of how to eat one, since gluten-free buns I've tried weren't all that great. I saw a recipe in a cooking mag (i think it was rachel ray) for pigs in a blanket, and different variations. i figured a good ol' PIB w/ some ketchup and mustard would do the trick :D Now I just gotta find a good dough recipe, and buy some dogs.

I used a Chebe bread mix (I forget which one) to make pig in the blankets, and they came out really well. I cut the hot dogs into small pieces, like the appetizer size -- if you left it whole, you could probably turn it into a "bagel dog".

I use the Kinnikinick hamburger with no problems. Are you microwaving them before you either eat or toast them? We need to do that with most of our breads.

The absolute best hot dog and hamburger bun recipe I have tried is from the book "Easy Gluten Free Baking" (Open Original Shared Link) by Elizabeth Barbone. They are soft, not crumbly and hold up very well. We use them for hot dogs, hamburgers and sub sandwiches. They are even good a few days later without freezing. The sandwich bread recipe in this book also can't be beat.

I also microwave my Kinnickinnick. I used to put em in the oven, but too crumbly.

I defrost them first in microwave, then heat for 20 seconds or so. They're great and easy to heat!

I bought the Kinnikinnick ones for Ty last summer. He ate a couple and then wouldn't eat them anymore. I couldn't blame him. I never tried to eat one, I couldn't get past the stench! Those things smell TERRIBLE!

Colleen, do you think you could PM me the recipe from your link? Thanks!

I just have to say- i went into this thread looking for a gluten-free hot dog bun...but I have to say I LOVE all the avatars on this thread!

I usually use the Whole Foods gluten-free hamburger buns for both hamburgers and hot dogs. I like them well enough (they do have lactose which I'm not supposed to have either but I figure- it's not the same as eating ice cream!)

Thanks for all the replies. I think that I'll try the Ener-G brand or make them fresh that day. :)

I know Chebe makes a great burger bun but for some reason, I hadn't thought about it for a hot dog bun. Do you use the red package (original) or the yellow package (all purpose)?

Thanks!

I know this is an old post and I was just wondering if anyone has found a good bun that is light and good tasting like the gluten buns are? I know there has been a lot of improvements in gluten free stuff over the past few years so hopefully someone has come up with one since this was posted.

I just slice them lengthwise and lay them on Udi's bread.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
