Total Time: 1 hr 22 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr 12 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

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)

Recipe

• 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.
