Can’t Seem to Get My Burger Buns Right – Need Some Help

The author is struggling to bake burger buns with a light and airy texture, despite numerous attempts. Their buns are currently squishy and tasty, but too dense for their preference. They utilize a deck oven and steam, preheating a pan and adding water during baking at 190°C for 15 minutes. The author seeks advice on improving their recipe and technique to achieve a lighter result. They have provided two different recipes they have been using. The first recipe includes flour, honey, yeast, salt, milk, butter, and egg. The second recipe lists warm water, sugar, yeast, egg (optional), vegetable oil, flour, and salt. They have tweaked the recipe repeatedly without success. The author is looking for feedback on their process.
