Ingredients

4 teaspoons dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoon warm water
3 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups + 3 tablespoons white flour
2 egg yolks for brushing
3/4 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoon cold milk
Vegetable oil as needed
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt
Black pepper
1 large garlic clove
1/2 bunch of basil leaves
3 1/2 tablespoon butter
4 onions, sliced
8 hot dog franks
16 bacon slices

Steps

Preheat oven to 390°F.
Mix the yeast, sugar and warm water, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Add the olive oil and flour gradually, mixing with a spoon. Season with salt to taste. Knead until the dough becomes elastic. Let rise for 45 minutes.
Shape into buns, and brush with egg yolk. Bake for 25 minutes.
In a blender, mix milk and oil at low speed. Add the lime juice.
When the mixture becomes thick with a creamy consistency, add the salt, pepper, garlic clove and basil leaves. Blend for 1 more minute. Set aside.
Add butter to a frying pan, and as soon as it melts, add the onion slices and sauté until caramelized.
Roll the franks up in the bacon slices, and place in 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
Cut the buns in half lengthwise, arrange the franks, cover with the basil sauce, and top with the caramelized onions.
