A few weeks ago, I stopped in a restaurant supply house and picked up two industrial size hamburger and hot dog bun pans which were in a cruddy used bin. Burger pan made 15 buns and hot dog pan made 18 - way to many for us. So, took them down to Roy's work shop and he cut each pan in half -

so now I have -

Today, I finally got to play with them. I used Blitz bread for the buns, which turns out was a mistake. I really need a stiffer dough to work with, these really spread out too much, but they were really tasty!

One batch of the bread made four of each buns.

As I said they spread too much, but here they are -

The outside is wonderfully crispy and the inside just a great bready texture, but I'll try another recipes for the next ones.

I was going to offer the other halves to someone, but they are so darn heavy, it would cost a fortune - so, will see if Houseboat Don wants them or....someone that we run into on our trips every once in a while - like Erin or Denise.

All of us can handle six hot dog or hamburger buns, I'm sure. They are great pans.

Oh, how fun! They may have spread out too much, but still look really tasty. As Sharon mentioned, the popcorn bread recipe makes really good buns.

I really have to find a new restaurant supply store. The one by me closed.

The garlic powder is perfect in them for dogs and burgers. I think next time I make buns I'll put some cheese in. I need to make buns this week.

Erin, I'm not sure how deep the muffin top pans are, but they probably would work.

I added garlic, onion, basil, oregano and a little red pepper flakes to the bread dough and they really are very tasty.

I hate working with that popcorn bread.....

Why is that? Just curious. I made hotdog buns with Sharon's recipe for custard dinner rolls and they were superb!

Wow! Doesn't that look like fun!

I agree, Sharon's custard rich rolls would be just yummy for this, I think.
