Combine the ingredients for the bread and knead the dough until smooth.

Let the dough rise for about 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into four portions and weigh them for evenness.

Roll the portions into long, thin logs the length of your baking sheet.

Let the logs rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C).

Brush the risen logs with milk for color.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Cut the baked buns in half and carve out the center with a small knife.

Toast the carved buns in the oven for a few minutes to get them crispy and warm.

Squeeze sauce into the carved bun, then add the hot dog.
