If you love pizza and hot dogs, you’re in luck: self-taught chef and Germany-based gourmand, Jelena Lozo, @der_kulinarische_donnerstag, shares a tasty hybrid between the two that swaps regular buns for pizza dough. While topping pizza with broiled hot dogs or sliced sausage is nothing new, recently, it’s become more popular to bake them together, swapping those sad, tasteless buns with a more flavorful and complex dough.
And it makes sense: just imagine an extremely airy cornicione cradling a delicious, savory center, topped with your favorite ingredients. In our version, we’ve used the classic combo of ketchup, honey mustard, quick pickles and crunchy fried onions.
Not only does this recipe marry two extremely satisfying dishes, it’s also quite versatile. You can experiment with just about any pizza dough style for the buns. It’s also a great way to use up leftover dough. Instead of stretching dough into normal pizza-shaped discs, you’ll shape your dough into buns, leaving space in the middle for the hot dogs and finishing it with your toppings of choice. After a quick initial bake, you’ll add the hot dogs to the dough, and finally, pop it into the oven for one final blast of heat. Savory, salty, sweet and slightly sour, say goodbye to boring buns forever.

Note
This recipe would suit a variety of pizza styles, but we think our Classic Pizza Dough would be a great fit. Make sure to prepare your dough ahead of time, about 4 hours before cooking; once the dough is ready, divide into 6 portions. Shape the dough into long dough balls, approximately 8 inches long by 2 inches (20 centimeters by 5 centimeters) wide. Let rise at room temperature for the last 30 minutes while you prepare the toppings below.
