Rock and Roll

Cinnamon buns may be the reigning queens of the swirled sweet roll genre; ourPerfectly Pillowy Cinnamon Rollshave 708 five-star reviews for a reason.

But cinnamon rolls are hardly the only swirled treats you could be baking and eating right now: Enter Lasheeda Perry'sJammin' Raspberry Buns. They're a perfect fruit recipe for winter because they don't contain any fresh fruit at all; raspberry jam and freeze-dried berries bring the summery flavor (not to mention the color — perhaps this recipe gets bookmarked for Valentine's Day?).

Or twist up a batch ofLemon Brioche Buns. They have a vibrant stripe of blueberry cream cheese filling (morefreeze-dried fruit!), and their bright citrus flavor provides a jolt to winter-weary palates.

Another way to give your baking a jolt? Using super-fresh spices, like the intensely aromaticcardamomin these twistedCardamom Buns, which is used in the dough, the filling (where it joins forces withVietnamese cinnamonandblack cocoa), and the glaze, which give these not-too-sweet pastries just the right amount of shine.

And if you're a person who prefers savory to sweet: we have a roll for that, too. OurTahini-Scallion Rollsget their chewiness frombread flour, their tenderness frompotato flour, and their irresistible flavor from the tahini, sesame seed, and scallion swirl at their center.
