Conveniently made with shredded rotisserie chicken, these no-cook, fresh summer rolls are a delightful lunch or dinner, especially on sticky summer days. If you’re feeding a crowd, double the ingredients and set it all up as a DIY summer roll bar, with each person in charge of filling and rolling their own chubby cylinder of crunchy vegetables and spicy chicken. The rice papers need only a brief dip in cool (never warm) water. You want them coated in a film of water but not sodden. They’ll continue to soften and flex as you fill and roll. Serve these summer rolls…

Cookbook author and former BA staffer Claire Saffitz describes these morning buns as “the more sophisticated cousin of the sticky bun.” Composed of tender, buttery swirls of dough with crisp caramelized edges, a honey-cinnamon filling, and a crackly sugar topping, her morning bun recipe makes an ideal breakfast pastry for weekends and holiday brunches.Unlike many bakery-style morning buns, which are often made with laminated dough, Claire opted for an enriched yeast dough that’s surprisingly easy to pull together at home. It begins with a simple sponge (also called a preferment), giving the yeast time to develop deeper flavor before the…
