Cooking Tips

• Make sure the milk is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
• You can brush the tops of the buns with melted butter before baking for a shiny finish.
• For a sweeter version, you can add a little more sugar to the dough.
• If you prefer a softer crust, cover the buns with a damp kitchen towel after baking.
• Slider buns can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Storage and Serving

• Slider buns are best served fresh, but you can also freeze them for later use.
• To freeze, let the buns cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag or container.
• To thaw, leave them at room temperature for a few hours or microwave them for a few seconds.
• Serve slider buns with your favorite fillings, such as mini burgers, pulled pork, or chicken sliders.
• You can also use them for mini sandwiches or as a base for appetizers like sliders with melted cheese and toppings.
