About Hot dog bread

Hot dog bread, also referred to as a hot dog bun, is a soft, elongated bread roll specifically designed to hold hot dogs and similar sausages. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century as part of street food culture, it has become a staple in American cuisine. Typically made from refined wheat flour, water, sugar, and yeast, hot dog bread is soft and slightly sweet. A standard hot dog bun contains approximately 120-140 calories, 22-24 grams of carbohydrates, 2-4 grams of protein, and minimal fats per serving. It is also fortified with iron and B vitamins (such as folic acid and niacin) due to enrichment processes in white flour.

Health Benefits

• Provides energy from carbohydrates (22-24 g per serving), which are the body’s primary energy source.
• Contains small amounts of protein (2-4 g per serving), supporting muscle maintenance and repair.
• Fortified with B vitamins, such as folic acid and niacin, which help in energy metabolism and red blood cell production.
