These cinnamon buns are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The cinnamon sugar filling is perfectly balanced by the slightly salty dough.

These cinnamon buns are a great way to use up leftover dough. I had some leftover pizza dough and I decided to try making cinnamon buns with it. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cinnamon buns turned out really dense and heavy. They were still tasty, but they weren't the light and fluffy buns I was hoping for.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cinnamon buns didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a bit dry and the filling was too sweet.
