This is a great recipe that requires an advanced skill level. Before complaining about the recipe being bad, learn the recipe before actually attempting to make these. Next, you may want to make a practice round, yes it requires a lot of time and effort but you can work out your mistakes before your family gathering where these will be served. Learn how to cook before you complain about the recipe.

It took a while to make, but the outcome was well worth it! I saw her do this on her show and just had to make it. So glad I did.

What a disappointment!!!! This is one of my favorite desserts. After printing the recipe and seeing the differences on the tv show vs the printed version I still decided to give it a try anyway. To make a long story short...the dough went in the trash, the filling down the drain and the recipe in the shredder. I knew this dessert was no easy task since most of the local restaurants and bakeries buy these pasties frozen from a food broker and bake them...but I HAD to give it a try (after all I watched Alex make them and it looked fairly easy I would like to believe that somewhere 1000 little italian ladies and making these for the food brokers to sell to the bakeries so I can purchase them and they are not made by a machine and the box is not labeled ...made in China. Keep on baking

I don't know if there is a word worse than terrible..but if there is this recipe was it!!!! I wasted so much money and time on this train wreck..the dough was so hard by the end of the refrigeration time that it just crumbled in my hand..I could go on and on but anyone else reading this..be aware..don't waste your time

I am curious if Alex actually tried making this pastry from her "own" recipe? It was terrible...nothing like a sfogliatella should be! At least I learned the proper spelling of my favorite italian pastry. Don't recommend trying this!

Bait and Switch!

There is now way what she put in the oven is what came out. Ya, I know it's TV and she probably spent 3 days making an episode and a PA run down to the local Italian joint for the real thing. How do I know this? Just look at the dough in the video. When she rolls it out, its almost like cookie dough. If you Google Sofgliatella making, videos show dough that is so thin it stretches across a whole table and can almost see through it.

That is the secret, a high gluten dough, which is why it's usually made with Semolina flour and rolled out and stretched thinner then a cheap bed sheet. That's how you get hundreds of layers.

She gave us pie dough roll ups.

UGH!!! I spent hours working on these sfogliatellas and followed the recipe exactly only to have them look like a blob of dough on the cookie sheet. I am so disappointed. The is the first recipe from food network that did not turn out the way it should have. Wish I had read everyone's comments before I spent 3+ hours working on these! The rating of 1 is way too high.

I tried making this recipe from the writen recipe on food network. It was a disaster!!!! I followed the recipe to the letter and it failed. I am not used to failed recipes. Very disappointed with Alex and the food network for putting this recipe on the internet.There were difference in the one Alex did on tv and the written one. This was costly and a waste of time. I will try other sites for good receipe sfogitella. I will never try one of Alex's recipes again.

WOW...If there were 0 stars i would have checked that...I really should have read the reviews before I spent time and money on this mess. After watching Alex this morning with this receipe, coming from NY I decided to try it. Like all of you the difference from
tv/video and receipe were way off. although i haven't even finished with this receipe yet, I'm still trying to decide whether to cook this at 375 or 450 or just throw the whole mess in the trash.
foodnetwork/Bobby Flay where did you get Alex...get her off the air.
