Hi, I know you asked for hot dog buns but you can make these and follow the directions in the second recipe to turn them into hot dog buns. I've made them before and they are delicious. No one could believe I made them. I would definitely cut it in half if you are not having a party.

Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
Ingredients:
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
- 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Add wheat flour, dry milk, sugar, salt, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons butter and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Shape into 14 buns, about 3-1/2 in. in diameter. Place on greased baking sheets; brush with 1 teaspoon of remaining butter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes. Remove from baking sheets; brush with remaining butter. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 14 servings.
I have not made this one yet but it does give you directions to turn them into hot dog buns.
