How can I make fresh burger buns like Hardees?

I am pretty new to baking and having recently just come back from Saudi Arabia I was privileged to visit the Hardees food chain (non in the UK where I live) and fallen in love with their fresh baked buns.

Does anyone know how to copy or come close to there burger bread buns? Can I can other buns and add butter or something close?

Hardees also wrap it in a foil packaging and since I suspect they use butter for that extra soft velvet feel it makes it more better as the bun melts with the cheese and burger inside the packaging.

Here is a clip too

As a starter, Hardees lists the ingredients for their Soft Baked Buns on their website.

From there, we can gain that the main ingredients are:

All Purpose White Flour
Water
Sugar
Soybean Oil
Yeast

Additionally, it contains less than 2% of:

Wheat Gluten
Salt
Maltodextrin
Food Starch-Modified
DATEM
Xanthan Gum
Whey
Dextrin
Mixed Triglycerides
Enzymes
Ascorbic Acid
Acesulfame Potassium
Maltitol
Neotame
Turmeric
Annato

And their Egg mixture for Basting:

Whole Eggs
Citric Acid diluted with water

I would probably knock out the following:

Wheat Gluten
Maltodextrin
Food Starch-Modified
DATEM
Dextrin
Mixed Triglycerides
Enzymes
Acesulfame Potassium
Maltitol
Neotame

Which leaves as the "less than 2% of" list:

Salt
Xanthan Gum
Turmeric
Annato
Ascorbic Acid
Whey
