This recipe involves a fair bit of work and preparation to solve a modern day problem – the sloppy joe, a fairly messy thing to eat, but Alton Brown has a solution – sloppy Joe buns, encased to prevent any mess at all! A fun challenge to attempt this one!
I did want to make some enhancements to this recipe, but as it is not mine I recommend you take a look at Alton Brown’s website for the recipe I followed, the only tip I would say is that there is enough dough, it may not feel enough when you roll it out, but it works a charm. Here’s the unsloppy joe buns recipe.
