I am on a quest. I'm not sure why I decided to start off my endeavors in recipe creating with the sticky bun, but I am. My dad's always been partial to them so maybe that has something to do with it. At any rate, batch one has come and gone before i even had a chance to photograph it. It wasn't my recipe, anyway; it was Bobby Flay's. The man knows what he's doing and I've been a fan for about 10 years so I decided his recipe would be a good jumping-off point. Basic dough recipe with an orange glaze, topped off with almonds. The recipe is here and definitely worth checking out. I do have some ideas for improvement, namely the filling is a bit too dry and once you roll the dough, it has trouble holding together in the oven. Also, I let it rise through the night instead of for four hours which obviously made it a bit poofier but was mostly done for convenience's sake. Batch number two will have what will most likely end up being a meyer lemon and amaretto glaze/goo on top. I don't know if it will be an "improvement" per se, but it wont upset the Great Mr. Flay if I happen to end up selling them in my own non-existent bakery someday...
I will take pictures of the next batch before my family devours them all.
