Wow! What fun! I had never seen nor heard of a flat sided hotdog bun before, so of course I had to give it a try. Alas, I do not have the amazing bun pan, so I had to bumble along with an 8 inch square. I put a half batch of buttermilk rye dough into it, laid a cookie sheet and pizza stone on top, and voila! Fancypants buns! I can't even remember the last time I ate a hotdog, but they are so darned good in these special, grilled buns that I may start buying them regularly. I'll definitely have to give your bun recipe a try, too. Thanks for the excellent bun lesson and photographs.
Good improvisation, Erin - thanks for sharing. :) PJH
