First try at making hot dog buns today. Next time I’m definitely going to do 8 buns instead of 6. Other than that, do you have any tips or tricks to shaping them?

Tasty! How did you shape them?

I rolled them into tubes of dough and let them each rise separately, which is likely why they turned out flatter than I wanted

Disclaimer: I have not made hotdog buns.

There's a roll recipe I like that has you put a 3 by 4 grid of them in a 9 by 9. Each roll supports the ones next to it, and the walls support the edge rolls. I think you could do something similar with hotdog buns in a high walled pan, assuming you put the right number per pan, to get the right level of height without needing very wide buns.
