Sourdough buns..

My kids love these buns (not sure I get why) and want me to make them. I"m looking for recipe advice. I don't usualy make this type of bread and it seems more commercial than not. They're sold as sourdough but I'm not sure that's true. But assuming they are I'll use a starter. There's only the slightest tang to them. They smell slightly more yeasty than sourdough so I'm wondering if maybe they're a blend of dry yeast and starter. They are very light but not in a fluffy way - each weighs 88g cooked. The crumb is very even so I'm thinking most of the mixing is done in a mixer. And it's definitely just white or unbleached flour - can't tell if AP or bread. When toasted they go more medium to dark brown more like a commercial toast would. The crumb is more dry than moist.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Often bread that is sold as sourdough just contains some sourdough powder. So maybe that is the case here. 
It is something you can made from discard. Just dry it and grind it.
