Notes

Hot dog buns are made from a an all-purpose flour with an average protein content. This type of flour is normally enriched and made from a blend of hard and soft wheats. When a flour is enriched, it means millers add nutrients back in that were lost during production. These nutrients include folic acid (a key vitamin that can help curb neural tube defects in unborn children), vitamin B and iron.
