- Heat oven to 450°F and grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper.

- Gently push the dough down and divide it into 12 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a ball and put them on the baking sheet.
- Gently press down on each ball to make them into circle-shaped buns.

- Once the buns are cool, spread 2-3 tablespoons of buttercream on each.
- Serve, enjoy, and share!
