FAQ:

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes! If using active dry yeast, make sure to activate it in warm water with sugar before mixing it into the dough.

Can I make these buns ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise, and then refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, let the dough come to room temperature, shape the buns, and let them rise again before baking.

Can I make the buns smaller or larger?
Absolutely! If you want smaller slider buns, divide the dough into 12 pieces instead of 8. For larger buns, simply divide the dough into fewer pieces and adjust the baking time as necessary.
