Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, warm water, and oil. Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy.
-
Add cornmeal, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
-
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, adding a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
-
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles.
-
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10 by 16 inches.
-
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 10 equal-sized rectangles.
-
Place a hot dog on the short end of each rectangle. Roll the dough around the hot dog, pinching the edges and seams securely to seal.
-
Arrange the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177&# 194;°C) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
