To assemble Garlic Hotdog Bread recipe
-
8 pcs Sliced bread
-
Cooked hotdogs
-
Garlic-cheese dressing
- Butter, for brushing
-
Extra grated melting cheese (optional, for topping)
How to Make It Simpol
-
Fry the hotdogs until golden and slightly crisp. Set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix together the ham spread, egg yolks, cheese, butter, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. This becomes your creamy, cheesy garlic dressing.
-
Spread the dressing generously on sliced bread. Place a hotdog in the middle and roll or fold the bread around it.
-
Place a hotdog diagonally over the bread, and fold the opposite ends of the bread to warp the sausage and secure the ends with a toothpick.
-
Brush the outside of the bread with a bit of butter for a crisp finish. For extra cheesiness, sprinkle grated melting cheese on top. (optional)
-
Air-fry at 160°C for 10 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks before serving.
Chef Tatung’s Tip
No need to toast the bread beforehand—it’ll crack when folded. Brushing the outside with butter before air-frying gives it that crispy, golden crust. And for that extra “wow,” top it with grated cheese before it hits the fryer. You’ll get that gooey, melty finish that’s pure midnight magic.
