This is an older topic, but I'm behind in reading e-mail. I put condiments on the bottom part of the bun, as well as the top. I don't have any trouble with soggy bread. I abhor soggy bread. I use mayonnaise, a little ketchup, and sweet pickle relish. I put enough on to cover the surface of the halves. Then I add the hotdog, and, if in the mood, some bread and butter pickles, (which are sweet).
Before preparing the hotdog bun, I slice the hotdog in half, sprinkle a little onion powder on the cut sides, a little pepper, then place the hotdog cut-side down in a pan. I heat it about a minute or so, until it smells grilled. I then turn the hotdog skin-side down, brush a little barbecue sauce over the cut surface, and cook it a minute more. Turn off the flame, and place some cheese so it lines the cut sides that are facing up. Turn the flame back on for about ten or fifteen seconds, turn it off and leave the pan on the stove while I prepare the hotdog bun. Then I carefully carry the pan to the counter, slide the hotdog onto a spatula and transfer it to the bun. Jennifer On 9/6/13, Sandy <[email protected]> wrote: > You are doing fine! Remember!
