For extra richness, use melted butter instead of oil in the dough. If you don't have dental floss, a serrated knife works well for cutting the buns. To make ahead, assemble the buns up to the second rise, then refrigerate overnight. Let them come to room temperature before baking. Add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
