Dachshund Buns

Ingredients

Dachshund bun

• 135 grams Bread flour
• 15 grams Cake flour
• 2 to 3 grams Instant dry yeast
• 80 ml Milk
• 1 grams Salt
• 15 grams Sugar
• 10 grams Butter
• 25 grams Egg

Other

• 5 Wiener sausages
• 1 Ketchup
• 1 Beaten egg for finishing
• 1 dash Store bought chocolate or seaweed (for the face)

Directions

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except for butter. Then, add butter, mix well and bring it into a ball. Knead well.
2. Allow the dough to proof until it's double in size.
3. Take out the dough and divide it into 5 pieces (for face). Each dough should be 15 g. Rest of the dough (for body 41 g) is also divided into 5 pieces and round them. Rest them for 15 minutes.
4. Take the dough for the body and roll it out to make a long stick that is 5-6 cm longer than the sausage. Put a bit of ketchup on and place the sausage. (that sounds kinda gross tbh)
5. Wrap the sausage with dough from both ends. Close the right end by pressing out air. On the left side make a cut with a knife in the middle to separate the ends and seal.
6. Place the dough seam-side down. Bend the right edge and place it under edge of body to secure. On the left side, put the legs together.
7. Take a small amount of dough from the face dough and round it to make a nose. Shape the remaining dough into a ball. Flatten it and make cuts on left and right for ears. Place it on the body.
8. Place the dogs on a baking tray and let rise a second time using the proof mode of your oven. Once it's done, start preheating the oven immediately (remove the dogs, obv).
9. Brush the tops of the dough with beaten eggs. Here, make the eyes if you are using seaweed. Bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 12 minutes.
10. If you are using chocolate to draw eyes, use cooled chocolate melted in a double boiler with a toothpick.
