I'm not sure what went wrong, but my buns didn't turn out at all. They were dense and dry, and the cheese and pepperoni didn't melt properly. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying them.

Overall, I thought the buns were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping for, but they weren't bad either. I might try making them again with some modifications.

The buns were a bit too plain for my taste. I think I would add some herbs or spices to the dough next time.

The buns were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use a milder type of pepperoni next time.

The buns were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter or oil next time.

The buns were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use half the amount of salt next time.

These cheesy pepperoni buns were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little bit more butter or milk to the dough next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the buns turned out great! They were soft, fluffy, and cheesy. The pepperoni added a nice spicy kick. I served them with marinara sauce for dipping and they were a hit.

These buns were so delicious and easy to make. I used a different type of cheese (mozzarella) and it still turned out great. I'll definitely be making these again.
