The smokey, fire-roasted flavor of a good hot dog is arguably the star of the show, but a good gluten-free bun is always a treat.
Our brand of choice for gluten-free/vegan hot dog bun is Pure Knead. They're light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. We purchase our buns from national grocer Kroger but Pure Knead also has online ordering of gluten-free vegan bread.
Sprouts carries the gluten-free brand Little Northern Bakehouse Millet & Chia Hot Dog Buns.
