I made these buns for a picnic and they were perfect. They were easy to pack and they held up well in the heat.

These buns were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.

I used a store-bought pesto sauce in my buns and they turned out great. I think it's a good shortcut if you're short on time.

These buns were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less olive oil next time.

I used sun-dried tomato pesto in my buns and they were amazing. I highly recommend trying this variation.

I followed the recipe exactly and my buns turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
