Preheat oven to 400° F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil if desired.
Line baking sheet with hot dogs, trying to make sure they don't touch.
Place in preheated oven and bake at 400° F for 10 minutes.
Optional: Turn oven to "broil" to give the hot dogs a "sizzle" but watch carefully not to overcook.
To Toast (optional): Place baked hot dogs on buns, and place back on baking sheet and back in to the oven for 1-2 minutes to slightly toast the buns.
To Steam (optional): Place baked hot dogs on buns, and top with American cheese slices. Individually wrap hot dog on the buns, in a piece of aluminum foil. Place wrapped hot dogs back in hot oven for 2-3 minutes, to allow the cheese to melt and the bun to steam in the foil.
