Best way to shape hot dog buns? (i.postimg.cc)

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?

I used to have a plastic silverware divider that worked pretty well. Besides that I have used cans laid on their side, then put a towel over them. The buns go in the valleys between the cans. I found that worked better than the usual Baguette way of just using a towel and pinching it up between the Baguette, because bun dough usually wants to spread more.

Thanks, I’ll have to see what I can figure out. I realize now I let these be too free form because that’s how I usually make hamburger buns.
