To the other reviewers that complained of the sweetness of these buns. You're joking right? If you don't want sticky-sticky buns (which implies more goo or "sweetness" then make cinnamon rolls instead! I don't like blue paintings but I'm using all this blue paint... oh my, this painting is so blue :
Professional bakers use weight not volume meas. so make note. I listened to the food critic judge on the show and used a larger chop and added more of the pecans for more crunch, otherwise a great gooey bun as written. Kudos to Joanne for sharing something that others would keep secret.

I didn't use her brioche recipe; I used the one from Alton Brown's baking cookbook then used this goo and sugar mixture. The best I ever had.

I was disappointed with the final result. The brioche that was covered in the goo was soggy. There was too much butter and there was not enough goo. The directions are vague and the recipe is difficult to follow. The brioche is not memorable.

While these were baking, the aroma was intoxicating! I was so excited to make these, but all of my efforts met with a disappointing end. Even my children (who are sugar-holics were turned off by the excessive sweetness. I used Emeril's brioche recipe (which was devine!, but I think that the proportions must be off in Chang recipe. I guess I just don't have a sweet tooth; this recipe is destined for the shredder. I look forward to trying Alton Brown's recipe though.

Joanne Chang's Sticky Buns are awesome. They taste amazing and are even fun to make. I have already made them twice and I recommend them to anyone.

Honestly, how ANYONE can give these less than 5 stars is beyond me...the goo itself is worthy...(Just for the record, I made Bobby's as well and would give his 5 stars too!!! Ya all gotta be doing something wrong...?!?! I watched this "throwdown" in the middle of the nite and got up to make both recipes (couldn't sleep!...and in the AM both pans were gone within 15 minutes...both were GREAT!

I too was a little disappointed when the brioche recipe was not included in the first few days after being posted. So I found a brioche recipe that was made for bread machines and made her sticky buns. After watching the show, I noticed she did things a little different than written on the web site, so I followed the instructions from the show. The buns were a hit with everyone! Then, FoodTV posted a brioche recipe. I don't know it it's Joannes or not, but I made it yesterday. I let it sit in the fridge overnight, then rolled it out and baked it today. I've gotten requests from three different people for a pan full of them! At first, I thought that a full ounce of yeast was a little much, but I followed the brioche recipe to a tee and it was perfect. I rolled it out onto a 16" x 21" board. Rather than just sprinkling the brown sugar onto the dough, I combined the 2 cups of brown sugar with a cup of softened butter and some cinnamon and spread that mixture onto the dough. I then sprinkled it with the nuts. After rolling it up, I cut the log into 12 buns (each 1 3/4" and let them rise in a 1/2 sheet cake pan with the "goo." They rose to a humungous size and nearly came out of the pan. After 30 minutes of baking time, I covered the buns with a piece of foil to prevent overbrowning and continued baking them for another ten minutes. They were perfect. This is an excellent recipe and I would like to than Joanne for sharing it. Afterall, it is her livelihood and didn't have to. Not all of the cooks/chefs/bakers who Bobby challenges to a throw down give up their recipes. And we do appreciate those who do! Thanks Joanne, Bobby, and the Food Network!

I was really disappointed with this recipe, considering how much time and effort I put into it. I used Ina Garten's recipe for Mini Brioche Rolls for the brioche (I made it before Joanne added her brioche recipe and then followed the rest of Joanne's recipe to a T. 2 cups of brown sugar for the rolls made them cloyingly sweet. Maybe I just don't like sweet rolls, but they looked way better on TV than in real life. And they just didn't taste great. Alton Brown's overnight cinnamon rolls were way better than this.
