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'll second this. If you look at commercial top-sliced hot dog buns, they're basically elongated pull-apart rolls that aren't baked brown on the sides because they were baked right next to a bunch of other rolls. I found this blog post that has a good pic of what I think would be the ideal spacing:

The parchment paper is almost certainly optional. Neat trick to keep the buns separate but likely not necessary.
