About Hot dog rolls

Hot dog rolls are soft, bread rolls traditionally used as a bun to hold hot dogs, sausages, or similar fillings. They are most commonly linked to American cuisine but have become a popular staple in various international street foods and backyard barbecues. Typically made from wheat flour, yeast, water, sugar, and fat, hot dog rolls are a source of carbohydrates and provide energy. However, they are often low in fiber and can vary in nutritional value depending on the recipe. On average, a single roll (approximately 50g) contains about 120-150 calories, 25-30g of carbohydrates, and 2-4g of protein, with minimal fat content unless enriched with additional ingredients.

Health Benefits

• Hot dog rolls provide a quick source of carbohydrates, which can supply energy for daily activities or exercise.
• Fortified versions of hot dog rolls may contain additional nutrients like B vitamins (e.g., folic acid), which support energy metabolism and cell function.
• Low-fat hot dog rolls can serve as a lighter bread option for those watching their fat intake while still enjoying traditional meals.
