How to get light and fluffy bread rolls like in the supermarkets?

I don't want to claim these can exactly mimic the soft baps in the SM, but they do come pretty close in texture. They do require a lot of sugar, and I don't think they'd work well left in the fridge--that said, they really do take about 30 mins start to finish and they are very soft. It is an American recipe I found on Pinterest, so it is by volume using cups.

This is the recipe I use. Lovely rolls

A trick you can try with home made bread is to substitute about 4oz/100 grams or so of ordinary self raising flour in place of bread flour. When the bread/rolls come out of the oven, cover them immediately with a clean tea towel until cool, then store in a covered container. Best eaten within 1-2 days as home made bread is not full of preservatives or stuff that keeps it soft for days.

Supermarket ovens have steam injectors and are also very expencive (my hubby is a bakery manager in a supermarket)
They also have machines to perfectly measure, kneed and shape the dough.
It's fairly hard to get them the same at home and we've tried

Thanks everyone.
I can't add an egg, as I don't eat eggs. That BBC GoodFood recipe looks like it may be worth a try.

I always use bread flour, a mix of white and wholemeal strong. I wonder if good old YouTube might be able to show me a recipe too.

That recipe has always worked for me, giving very soft fluffy rolls

I do it in the kenwood and tbh it looks more like a cake mix most time and I need to use oil to shape them. However this time what I done was activate the yeast in the sugar and water, then threw that into the flour, left for 10 mins, started the mixer and when it came together I added the salt

Great rolls

But put the tea towel over them to soften them
