I grew up in Lancaster County PA, and sticky buns were always available. Now that I live in Bali, I have to make my own. So glad I did! This recipe is delicious. I had to substitute the local gulah merah (palm sugar) for the brown sugar, and it is absolutely decadent. Easy, too. Thanks for posting.

Wow, Wow, Wow! sticky buns is right. The bread came out so soft and the dough is very easy to handle too. Delish. A definite keeper. One note, make sure you flip the buns over while still warm because it is very hard to do it once they are cool. Note: I will use this dough for cinnamon buns the next time. Thank you WJking for sharing the recipe.
