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.

These nutrients include folic acid (a key vitamin that can help curb neural tube defects in unborn children), vitamin B and iron.
