Ever taken a bite of your McDonald’s hamburger and noticed a mysterious white dot on the bottom bun? It’s a subtle detail, often overlooked, yet it piques the curiosity of many. Is it a secret code? A quality mark? Or perhaps just a baking quirk?
The Likely Culprit? Flour
The most plausible explanation for the white dot is a simple one: flour. During the baking process, bakers often dust the dough with flour to prevent it from sticking to surfaces. This practice can leave a residual white spot on the bun’s surface, especially on the bottom where it contacts the baking tray. It’s a common occurrence in commercial baking and is entirely harmless.
