Made ‘Chinese Bakery’ Style Hotdog Buns

I used to love buying these as a kid from Chinatown bakeries or from the Asian grocery stores. I remember them costing .99 cents each not too long ago.

With the cost of everything though I don’t blame these small shops for charging closer to $4-$5 a bun now but I do miss being able to grab these guilt-free as a “poor-kid’s” snack.

Sharing this recipe for fun (no ads/paywall) and hoping anyone that used to enjoy these growing up will be able to enjoy these freshly baked now as well too!

I use a tangzhong method with an extra yolk and milk powder in my dough for an enriched, ultra soft bread like I remember it being.
