Ingredients

160 ml thick cream
250 ml warm water
40 g butter melted
1 large egg at room temperature
80 g caster sugar
600 g strong white bread flour
1 tbsp S&P dried yeast
1 1/2 tbsp creamy milk powder
2 tsp S&P flour improver
1 1/2 tsp salt
12 frankfurters
2 tsp Chese bread flavouring
1 tsp egg whisked with 1 tsp water extra
2 tsp caster sugar dissolved in 2 tsp boiling water

Instructions

In the bowl of a mixer, add the thick cream, water, butter, egg, sugar, flour, yeast, milk powder, flour improver and salt (in that order). Using the dough hook attachment, turn on the mixer to “stir.” Let it go for 15 minutes, occasionally stopping the mixer to push the dough together.
After 15 minutes, the dough is ready for proving. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Drain the frankfurters (if using tinned ones) and pat dry. Place on a flat plate and sprinkle over the bread flavouring.
After the hour of proving, put the dough back in the mixer and stir for another 5 minutes to get rid of air bubbles. Dump the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal pieces.
Take each piece of dough and roll it into an approx 25cm long rope. Roll the rope around a frankfurter, tucking in the ends. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, allowing 5cm between them. Repeat until you have 12 hot dogs.
Cover with cling-film and set aside in a warm place for 30minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C.
Brush with the egg whisked with water and if desired sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and immediately brush the buns with sugar water. Serve warm.
