Question:
I baked buns with franks inside. They were made with bread dough rolled in oil, and it has a tzuras hapas. What bracha do I make if I'm eating them for a snack?
Answer:
Hello,
It depends on their size. If they are regular-sized, the bracha on them is hamotzei, even if you are eating them only as a snack. The Shulchan Aruch (266-15) writes that if a person eats bread that is filled with "meal food," such as meat, fish, etc., the bracha is always hamotzei, even when it is eaten as a snack. However, if it is evident from the size that it is meant to be eaten as a snack, such as the tiny franks in blanks that are served as hors d'oeuvres at a smorgasbord, then the bracha would be mezonos.
