About this recipe
Hot dogs Thermomix TM7 style bring the fun of the fairground straight into your kitchen, with soft homemade buns baked from strong bread flour and plain yoghurt. This recipe for hot dog rolls shows exactly why the all-in-one kitchen machine shines: the dough is kneaded to a silky, elastic consistency, the milk and butter are warmed to exactly the right warmth for proving, and the sausages are steamed gently so they stay plump and juicy. Melted Cheddar and sliced spring onions finish each bun with a savoury, fresh topping. Searching for quick weeknight dinner ideas or crowd-pleasing party food recipes? These hot dogs are ideal for children's birthdays, movie nights and relaxed weekends, and because the Thermomix TM7 handles the kneading and steaming, you only need to shape the buns and assemble. Once you taste a warm, cheese-topped hot dog from your own oven, shop-bought buns will never compare again.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Let the yoghurt dough prove in a warm, draught-free spot until it has visibly doubled in size; this gives the hot dog buns their light, fluffy crumb that soaks up the Cheddar and sausage juices beautifully.
- Tip 2: Grate the Cheddar finely and sprinkle it over the split rolls just before serving so it melts from the warmth of the sausages, creating that irresistible gooey layer without extra baking time.
- Tip 3: Slice the spring onions thinly and keep some raw for crunch while tucking a few into the bun before warming; this double approach delivers both fresh bite and mellow onion sweetness in every hot dog.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian variation: replace the hot dog sausages with vegetarian sausages steamed in the Varoma; the Cheddar, spring onions and yoghurt buns stay exactly the same, so the whole family can enjoy identical hot dogs side by side.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of smoked paprika to the bun dough and top the finished hot dogs with crispy fried onions and a drizzle of mustard for a party version that works brilliantly for birthdays and game nights.
