The aroma of this hot dog bread was sweet and fresh. We loved it!
In the raw form, the bread tasted fresh with slight undertones of sweet and saltiness. Further, we tasted the bread by adding a few ingredients. Our ingredients list included tomatoes, lettuce, butter and chicken sausages. We started by applying President butter on these hot dog breads and heating them in an oven.
Later, we placed in the lettuce, tomatoes and chicken sausages. Finally, we garnished it by drizzling a generous amount of mustard sauce and some ketchup. We liked the taste of the hot dog bread with the sausages.
The only letdown was the texture of this hot dog bread. It was crusty and dense and definately needs improvement.
