Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare bread dough by hand using the directions on the can label.
Place the towel over the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide dough into equal parts and form into round shapes for hamburger buns or narrow loaf shapes for hotdog buns.
Gently tuck sides of dough underneath and press to about 1/2 inch thick.
Cover and let rise until dough is doubled in size.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
