I’d like to be that person who wakes up at 5:30 on a Sunday morning to bake off Brioche Sticky Buns before the sun comes up, but, even when I worked in bakeries, I am absolutely not that person. In my house, morning pastries are eaten for dessert, unless there are leftovers. I recommend planning for leftovers with these, because they sure are good with a cup of coffee.

These sticky buns are a two-day affair, the first day dedicated to making Dorie’s brioche dough, and the second day to assembling, proofing and baking. I feel like we’ve made her brioche dough a zillion times now, and indeed in the course of TWD history, we’ve even made sticky buns with it twice before. These have a cinnamon-sugar filling and a brown sugar caramel topping. Warm from the oven, they are soft and buttery and gooey. I did make a scaled back batch, but was sure to have a couple leftover to warm up for the next day’s coffee treat.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Cool photo. This 2 day affair recipe is so worth it. My son down for a visit loved them. These were very good with coffee.
