Cheese Dog Bread Rolls are as fun to make as they are to eat and are the best use of day-old sliced bread. Golden, crunchy, and stuffed with meaty hot dogs and melty cheese, they're a hearty snack or appetizer kids and adults alike will love!
We love all forms of bread at home, so I always ensure we have a loaf or two ready for our favorite spreads, such as chicken salad or cheese pineapple. But sometimes, my eyes are bigger than our stomachs, and I end up buying more than we can comfortably consume.
However, the bread loaves never go to waste; there are so many delicious ways to revamp day-old extras into amazing snacks or desserts! I like to turn pan de leche rolls into Hawaiian bread pudding or sliced white bread into ham or cheese dog bread rolls.
If you're looking for the perfect after-school treat for the kiddos or fun appetizers for the adults in the house, these stuffed bread rolls are it! Golden, crunchy, and filled with meaty hot dogs and melty cheese on the inside, they're sure to be hit.
Not only do they make a fun and tasty snack, but they are also easy to make with only a handful of ingredients. Plus, they're freezable for anytime cravings!
Ingredients
- Sliced sandwich bread is perfect for this recipe! I prefer white, but feel free to use wheat for extra nutrition.
- Hot dogs- I use Filipino-style "red hot dogs"
- Cheese- Eden is my favorite brand to use here, but any quick melt cheese should do.
- Eggs and milk- beat together to make an egg wash which will help the breading to stick
- Panko bread crumbs- use Panko for the best crunch!
- Oil- choose oil with a high smoke point and neutral taste such as canola, safflower, or corn oil
Cooking tips
- Use the cut-off crusts as a binder (panade) for burger steaks.
- I find the sweet and tangy taste of banana catsup complements the creamy and salty flavors of these bread rolls. You can either spread a very thin layer of catsup on the bread (not too thick or the bread will turn soggy) before you add the sliced hot dog and cheese or just serve the fried bread rolls with a side of banana catsup for dipping.
- Cut the hot dog and cheese into thin strips so you'll be able to roll the bread tightly around them.
- I like to freeze the prepared bread rolls for a few minutes before frying so the cheese firms up a little and does not ooze out of the rolls during frying.
- For the best texture, maintain the oil is at the optimal 350 F to 375 F range. Too hot and the bread coating browns before the inside is sufficiently heated through, too low and the bread rolls absorb a lot more oil.
- To prevent the temperature from plummeting, do not overcrowd the pan and fry in batches as needed.
- Drain the fried rolls on a wire rack instead of on paper towels as the escaping steam might make them soggy.
How to serve and store
- These crunchy cheese and hot dog rolls are delicious as a snack or appetizer with a dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or Ranch dressing.
- As they're best enjoyed freshly cooked, I suggest storing them unfried. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, cover with film, and freeze until firm. When frozen, transfer to resealable bags and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. This way, they won't stick together when frozen.
- Fry frozen and adjust the temperature during cooking as needed to ensure they don't burn on the outside before fully heated through on the inside.

Instructions

- In a shallow dish, place Panko bread crumbs.
- Dip the bread roll in egg mixture and roll in bread crumbs, patting down crumbs to fully coat. Repeat with the remaining rolls.
- Arrange breaded rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a wide, thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inches deep of oil. Place prepared bread rolls seam side down and deep-fry, turning as needed, until golden and crunchy.

Hi po ask ko lang po kung alam nyo po ba ang weight ng breadroll?
sarah says
instead of oil, can i use butter for frying?
Lalaine Manalo says
I don't recommend butter for deep-frying as it doesn't have a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil. It might burn and turn bitter before the bread crumbs are golden and crunchy.

Hello Lalaine,
Is it ok to prepare them at night, freeze them and fry them the next day?
Lalaine says
Yes, you can do. I actually freeze them for a few minutes before frying so the cheese doesn't melt too quickly. If they're too frozen, though, give them a few minutes to thaw out a little.
Pearl says
Oh this looks so delicious! Makes me remember my high school days haha. Has anyone tried baking it instead of deep frying it? Not sure if it would be as crispy as the original recipe.
Lalaine says
You can bake them if you like. Just spray them with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with butter before baking to help them brown. Enjoy!

Marie says
Aarrgh... I'm missing this, too. One day, I'll make it and hope my in-laws like them. Haha
Lalaine says
I hope you give them a try. If the in-laws don't like the hotdogs, you can swap them with sliced ham or just cheese. Enjoy!
benny says
Lalaine, what kind of quick melt cheese do you use? Is it the Magnolia quickmelt? I don't have access to the Magnolia brand here in the Midwest. Have you tried using cheddar or other cheeses? Thanks.
Lalaine says
Hello Benny
I used Eden cheese but you can use any bulk cheese you like. Mozzarella is great, too!
