The hamburger bun has sugar, dextrose and maltodextrin, etc in it. When I bake bread at home, I don't add those things. The ketchup has corn syrup. These things might be small but maybe they add up.

You bake your own burger buns?

I've baked boules, baguettes and pretzels, but not buns (yet). I use Jim Lahey's no-knead bread recipe. Easy and delicious.

Not OP but when I make burgers at home I bake my own potato buns (not necessarily on the same day). No bakery around me makes soft savory buns and the prepacked store-bought ones have this weird synthetic and stale flavor.
