A hot dog bun is a type of soft bun shaped specifically to contain a hot dog or another type of sausage.

The side-loading bun is common in most of the United States, while the top-loading New England–style hot dog bun is popular in that region.[1] Other regional variations include the addition of poppy seeds to the buns of Chicago-style hot dogs.
