You're so neat with it! I made some Chinese Sausage buns a while back and they weren't as cute as yours! My dough wasn't as soft as the ones you buy.

Oh this is good. What is the texture of the dough like? Quite light (like traditional sausage buns in Chinese bakeries) or denser and quite bread-like?

I love these. Yum! I like it that the previous posts was cute piglets and the next is hot dog buns ;)

girlheartfood : Mine wasn't the softest too but maybe they add chemicals to make it that soft.

Charmaine : It isn't as soft as i have hopes but decent considering the different flour we use here.

Mei : That's a cute observation, i didn't think of it like that! Since hotdogs are mostly carbohydrates, maybe not many piglets were used?
