I made some mistakes (forgot nuts, and to cover it in fridge overnight=extra crusty crust, have some things I don't like, (honey, cinnamon and orange juice and I made some adjustments, (2 pks dry yeast, butter flavored crisco in the dough, corn syrup in the goo, mixed sugar in the filling. It was still delicious. I used a turkey roaster, and I don't have a platter that big to turn it out on so I sponned goo over the top after I served the first one. I followed someone elses comment and covered mine for the first 30 minutes and uncovered them the last 15 to brown. I also remembered why I was confined to the cash register when I worked at one of those mall bun places! I forgot I had ever worked there and sworn I would never make buns again. These were so good I forgot that promise! Try them, the hardest part is rolling them up.

Really yummy- the only caveat I'd issue is to let them cool before eating. lol

The buns were good, but the top got crusty.... I cut the cooling time to 2 hours instead of 6 hours and let the dough rise in the oven on warm.... The buns were fluffy and the tasted good.... I am sure Joanne made them better in Boston.

I don't understand how anyone could give this less than 5 stars. I think some of the reviewers must be doing something wrong...this recipe is NOT for the person inexperienced with pastries. The brioche dough was easy to work with, and the "goo" was out of this world. The buns were gone in a matter of hours. PS. People, learn to spell, please!

After reading all previous reviews - I scrutinized the recipe closely & noted the following: Do you recall Joanne mentioned that her dough had "chilled sufficiently" & then she rolled it in her sheeting machine? I suspect her dough is refrigerated overnight? Also, on the show she said she used a mixture of both white & brown sugar in the bun filling - yet her recipe calls for brown sugar only...... Joanne's Brioche dough is not unlike Bobbie's dough. His also contains butter...the greatest difference is that Joanne's dough contains more eggs.....which makes her dough rich. Bobbies does contain milk though so that makes up some of the richness.... Use your best judgement in all phases of the recipes.....

I have to say that this recipe needs to be perfected. First, for the yeast, it should be noted that you have to use Fresh Yeast not the instant yeast as it is mostly available in Baking Isle of most supermarket. 1 cake of Fresh Yeast of .6 oz is equal to 1 package 1/4 oz of instant yeast. People who bake alot may have known this, but for the first timer, this unclear instruction can be a disaster.
I like the idea of the goo, but when I made it I skip the water so that it has a thicker caramel like consistency once you are done with the baking process.
Over all this recipe is good, for Brioche I prefer to follow Sherry Yard's recipe in her Secret of Baking book.

I followed the recipe just as is. I had no troubles and the caramel just came perfect. This is a very sweet bread, if you like sweet this is perfect, you can not add the sugar of the filling and add more pecans. Once you try them, you got to make them frequently. thank you food network and bobby.

is how my husband described these. I used the recipe provided and they were great. I was afraid the dough would be hard to work with, but it was beautiful. I followed other reviewer's suggestions to bake for 25 minutes and they were way under done. Should have known- Joanne was a mathemetician! Used a turkey roasting pan, about a 1/2 sheet, but higher sides. I just put them back in the oven right-side up for another 20 minutes or so, probably less gooey than they would have been had I followed the recipe.

First, I would like to thank Joanne for giving all of us her receipe. It was something she didn't have to do. Next, I would like to say, there is nothing wrong with the receipe, only that you have to put everything in order before making it. Joanne has already given us the receipe, which happens to be what she is making an income with, now you need to spend a few minutes puting it together. Lastly, the sticky buns are the best I have ever made and plan to make then for the holidays this year and every year.
Thank you Joanne, your the best in the business!!
