You do not need a barbecue or a griddle to prepare hot dogs: you can easily cook them even in the oven at home! You can cook the frankfurters alone or inside the sandwiches, using the conventional oven or the grill. Whichever way you decide to cook hot dogs, before you start make sure you have a large assortment of your favorite sauces and ingredients to stuff them with to make them even more irresistible.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Cook the Wurstel on your own
Step 1. Turn on the oven and prepare a baking sheet
Preheat the oven to bring it to a temperature of 200 ° C. Arrange the sausages in the pan so they don't touch each other. If you don't have one big enough to fit them all comfortably, you can use two.
Step 2. Cut the sausages in half lengthwise
Basically you have to open them like a book by cutting them from one end to the other with the knife.
Step 3. Place the pan in the oven and cook the frankfurters for 15 minutes
Set the kitchen timer so you don't risk forgetting them in the oven. After a quarter of an hour, check if they are ready. If they have changed color to brown and curled at the ends, they are cooked. If not, let them cook for a few more minutes.
If you prefer the frankfurters to be lightly toasted and crunchy, turn on the grill in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking
Step 4. Take the frankfurters out of the oven and serve them
Transfer them from the pan to the plates using a flat spatula. Put them on the warm bread and add the ingredients and sauces of your choice. For example, you can use cheese, gherkins, ketchup and mustard.
If you want, you can put the cheese on the frankfurters and put them back in the oven for a minute to let it melt
Method 2 of 3: Bake the Frankfurters in Bread
Step 1. Turn on the oven and line a baking sheet with foil
Preheat the oven to bring it to a temperature of 175 ° C. Make sure that the sides of the pan - and not just the bottom - are also lined with aluminum foil. Before you start, check that the pan is large enough to hold all the hot dogs you want to make. If you don't have one large enough, coat two.
Step 2. Arrange the sandwiches in the pan
Arrange them close together, so that they lean against each other, to prevent them from tipping over. Use a bun for each frankfurter you are going to bake.
If you want, you can spread your favorite sauces on the sandwiches before baking. In addition to mayonnaise, mustard or ketchup, you can also use butter
Step 3. Fill sandwiches with sausages and other selected ingredients
Put a frankfurter on each bun, then add cheese, onions, pickles or some other sauce to taste, for example. Sprinkle your favorite ingredients directly on the frankfurters after placing them on the bread.
Step 4. Cover the baking sheet with foil and put it in the oven for 45 minutes
Fold the edges of the paper under the pan so it doesn't shift as you bake it. Set the kitchen timer to sound after 45 minutes. When finished, remove the pan from the oven and check that the sausages have turned brown, the cheese is melted and any other ingredients are hot.
Step 5. Serve the hot dogs
Carefully transfer them from the baking sheet to the plates using a kitchen spatula. You can eat them directly with your hands or using a fork and knife.
Method 3 of 3: Cook the Frankfurters with the Oven Grill
Step 1. Activate the oven grill function
While the grill coil heats up, arrange the frankfurters in a roasting pan so they don't touch each other.
Step 2. Place the frankfurters in the pan and cook for 4 minutes
Place the pan on the top shelf of the oven so that the frankfurters are close to the glowing coil. Set the kitchen timer to know when 4 minutes have passed.
Step 3. When the timer goes off, flip the sausages with the tongs and cook for 4 minutes on the other side
Put on oven gloves and take out the pan to be able to comfortably turn the sausages. After you've turned them all, put the pan back in the oven and set the timer again so they cook for another 4 minutes.
Step 4. When the frankfurters are ready, take them out of the oven and serve immediately
Transfer them to a plate, being careful not to burn yourself. Place them on the bread using the tongs and add the sauces and ingredients of your choice.
