Judith Fertig's I Love Cinnamon Rolls! is full of cinnamon rolls like you've never seen them before. There are bacon-brown sugar cinnamon rolls, tarte tatin cinnamon rolls with crème fraîche, even vegan sweet potato-cinnamon crowns with bourbon icing.
Fertig begins with an explanation of the anatomy of a cinnamon roll and recipes for eight dough options, including a traditional method as well as gluten-free and vegan options. She then offers easy-to-follow recipes for taking the basic dough, adding various sauces and fillings and expanding it into almost limitless varieties.
The pictures are mouthwatering; the descriptions of the rolls, buns, muffins and twists are divine. They may look very different, but they all follow the same basic methods, making the recipes approachable even for novices. The small hardcover size and irresistible pictures also make I Love Cinnamon Rolls! a perfect stocking stuffer for the baker in your life. --Jessica Howard, blogger at Quirky Bookworm
