Homemade bun versus store bought. The one on the right is store bought.

That’s does look delicious as general bread, but as an actual bun it’s probably too large for a hamburger. Bigger isn’t always better lol

Yours could’ve used a little more baking to brown it nice like the store bought, which also looks good. But in the end, homemade bread is better. 😋

what’s the weight of each?

That’s got to be made into a homemade Big Mac right?

Did you bake in a muffin tin?

I’m glad you pointed it out, I’d have never guessed.

Top of the bun looks alright but what’s wrong with the bottom half?

What’s the weight on both? Obviously if you have more dough (and bake in a ring mould) your gonna get more height. It’s not really much of a flex.

More dough = bigger bun. Who ever would’ve thought?

Reminds me of the bun from WHERES THE BEEF?

Looks good, if a bit tall. You can make a bun not be… rounded sides by scoring around the outside before baking, without a bun pan too

Silicone baking mold? Bread always comes out looks steamed.

That looks delicious.

Thank you Reddit bread bakers. Yes, I realize these buns are massive. I now understand using 4.5-5 ounces of dough in a 4” bun mould is a bit much. I’ll be sure and dial it back to make a proper bun size. This was my 1st attempt using a bun mould and I’m not upset about them. They tasted great!

Also the store bought is brioche bun whereas the homemade is a simple white bread recipe. Just sayin’

Not enough info for this to be a true vs.
How many grams of yeast was used in the dough for each? What flour was used for each? What were the rising conditions between the two aka what temp was it when both rose? What temperature water was used when mixing the dough? These all make a big difference in appearance, taste, crumb size.
Tough to really compare but yeah, yours is visually taller, that is true.

Saw the title, then the picture. All I could think is “we know which one it is.” great job!
