Let's say that you have a bag and a half of unused hot dog buns. What to do with them? For the most part, it is just bread and not just any sort of bread. It's the kind of bread that one eats meat with. Why not add a some garlic powder and butter?
There are two ways to do this. The first is to use tin foil and bake them until the butter melts and the garlic powder gives its essence to the bread.
The second method is by stove top and is just as easy to do. First you need a flat grill pan or 10" skillet. Basically, a pan large enough to accommodate four halves of hot dog buns.
By the way, the same can be done with leftover hamburger buns too.
Ingredients
hot dog buns, halved lengthwise
unsalted butter
garlic powder
kosher salt, to taste
Directions
If your hot dog buns don't already come split in the middle, do so with a sharp knife and slather the flat sides of the buns with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
Place butter-side down onto a hot skillet and fry until the bread is lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and eat.
