I have made this several times now, and my family and friends can't get enough. I thought the recipe was pretty simple to follow. The only thing I found was it called for 6 eggs and only uses 5.

These are incredible. I've made them twice and have heard the same comment over and over again, "these are the best sticky buns I've ever had!" I used all 6 eggs in the brioche dough as opposed to 5. Everything else I followed exactly. Give it a try....they are worth the time and effort!

Buns are delicious! However, the recipe calls for 6 eggs in the ingredients, tells us to use five of them and never addresses the issue of a 6th egg, as far as I can tell. Did I miss something?

Patience is key when making these buns (dough took me about an hour to make but if you have a little it is well worth it!
I omitted the pecans due to my intense dislike of nuts and still thought they were fabulous.
Also my goo turned out very sticky and not runny at all, and I allowed the buns to proof for 3.5-4hrs instead of 2-3 hrs

i finally made these sticky buns. Have been wanting to try them ever since i saw the episode on t.v. I couldn't get fresh yeast so i used 1 and half packets of active dry yeast. I followed the directions posted by DAVE. Mixing yeast with 2 tbsp water and letting sit for an hour. I used his instructions for mixing everthing too. They came out just fine. My few suggestions , when you are rolling out dough, make sure you FLOUR your surface well. All the butter in the dough quickly gets sticky. After i rolled mine and put them in pan of goo, they took more like 3 hours to rise. I baked on 350 for 30 minutes and they were fine. I have a kitchen aid mixter and used the dough hook. I started on speed 1 and rotated between 1 to speed 4. I didn't have to hand kneed at all. The texture of the way they come out to me is between a croissant and a very light coffee cake. Not really like a cinnamon roll. Very delicious though.

After getting past the part where my sunbeam stand-up mixer nearly burned out making the dough and figuring out which recipe to follow (this one, the one posted on the harvard website OR the one they demonstrate on the harvard website video, the recipe is pretty straight forward. Even after 30 minutes of mixer kneading, I still need to do some hand kneading (which I'm ok with, but would've liked to know ahead of time. Maybe it's because I don't have a kitchen aid mixer- not sure. The goo is super simple and almost fool-proof. Even though my dough rose as it should've, it still didn't come out as fluffy as it needed to be. Regardless, they were amazing! But what would you expect considering nearly 5 STICKS of butter were used to make 8 buns. Luckily, they re-heat really well, and almost taste better re-heated so I can eat them over a period of time and still keep somewhat of a figure. This recipe is a keeper- the second time around should be easier considering the first round nearly killed me and my mixer.

I saw these on Throwdown and just had to have them! I was a bit worried when my dough didn't look dry when it was supposed to, but I just kept going. You really need to mix it with a mixer that has a hook attachment. You also need to mix it with your hands, like I did. That was the only way I could really incorporate the butter into the dough. I let it sit in the fridge overnight, thinking it would rise, but it didn't and I guess it didn't need to. I made the Goo when I got home from work and rolled the dough out when the goo was cooling. The dough does make a double batch and the goo is only a single batch. I ended up making just regular buns with no goo and making a quick white icing to put on them. The Goo is absolutely the best part. I also couldn't believe how good the dough turned out, I was worried it would be too dense, but it was light and flaky, just right!

Follow the recipe on here and you will be fine! Good luck!

Another reviewer that rated this recipe posted the link to the Harvard website where Joanne published her recipe. That recipe is much easier to follow! I used that one (which only calls for 5 eggs and my sticky buns came out fabulous. I also hand mixed the dough and I had not problems (other than being extremely exhausted. Also I had another recipe for stick buns that suggested that when baking the buns, place the pan on a pizza stone. Since I had one I did so, and the results were fab!. There's only one negative - MY OVEN IS A STICKY MESS!
