Ingredients
| 1 | cup store-bought brioche dough |

| 1⁄2 | lb butter |

Instructions
| 1. | Dough Preparation: |
|---|---|
| 2. | Begin by rolling out the store-bought brioche dough on a floured surface until it forms a thin 1/4-inch thick rectangle. |

| 4. | Roll up the dough jelly roll-style and slice it into 1-inch thick buns. |
| 5. | Prepare the Goo by spreading a mixture on the bottom of a roasting pan and placing the sliced buns on top, ensuring they are evenly spaced. For an extra touch, sprinkle additional chopped pecans over the Goo. |
| 6. | Cover the pan and allow the buns to rise in a warm place for 2 to 3 hours. |
| 7. | Baking: |
| 8. | Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. |
| 9. | Bake the buns in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, approximately 45 minutes. |
| 10. | Allow the buns to cool for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a serving platter. |
| 11. | Goo Preparation: |
| 12. | In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the brown sugar. |
| 13. | Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then, whisk in the honey, cream, and water. Set this Goo mixture aside for later use. |
