Hi Umair can you give us a bit more information to the problem and perhaps a picture of the problem, is the bun splitting along the seams of the plait? if so that is a natural point of separation where the dough pieces overlap. Is the dough an instant dough?
kind regards Derek
We use fresh yeast, 1st we make sponge then after 2 hrs we make final dough

I don't think the problem is to do with the formula, its the style of bun, being plaited or is it a double knot. The separation of the strands is a natural split line and with the bun being sliced in half for the burger the strands are separating more easily with less structural integrity along the strand edges especial if pressure is applied in gripping a big plump filled burger. This will be magnified if the dough strands have any flour or oil film or even skinning prior to tying/plaiting. We used to make small knotted dinner rolls and invariable patrons used to tear them apart rather than using a knife and they came apart along the strands too. If you use exactly the same dough and make a plain round bun and treat it exactly the same and then slice it fill it with the same burger patty etc and handle it with the same pressure its not going to split as there is no weak points as it is a whole rather than segmented. Has this problem only just started to occur where it has not been happening before in the past or is it a new customer, and new order?
Kind regards Derek
Yoz, I concur, it sounds like the seams on the upper side are separating. How to solve it, I don't know.
Sounds and looks like a commercial setting.
Yes it does sound like a commercial setting especially with the packaging might have got a better view out side the plastic.
