Maybe a sprinkle of sesame seeds?

They look much too good for McDonald's

Has anyone else ever eaten just a McDonalds bun. I found them to be quite vile, quite honestly the worst bread Ive ever had.

Which paper mill did you order them from?

I look forward to seeing the egg wash version. Also I clicked thinking it was SMCF, was not disappointed.

Because I had super good results with this recipe, have a try with this:

For likeley unhealthy but tastier than McDonalds buns:

• 500 g (17.6 oz) flour
• 1 large pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 25 g (0.9 oz) lard
• 200 ml (7 imperial fl oz) milk
• 100 ml (3.5 imperial fl oz) lukewarm water
• 5 g (0.18 oz) yeast
• 1 egg (for brushing)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

...

1. Prepare the dough: Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add lard, milk, lukewarm water, and yeast. Knead thoroughly for at least 15 minutes.

2. First rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

3. Shape the buns: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape into balls, flatten into rounds, and place on a baking tray.

4. Second rise: Brush the buns with beaten egg, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

5. Final rise: Brush again with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

6. Bake: Bake at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 10 minutes, until golden brown.

Edit: The Buns are relatively big. If you want buns sized like those from McDonalds divide the dough in rather 10ish portions.
