Consider Flour by Joanne Chang.
“Flour reads like a practiced baker teaching from behind the counter: recipes for crowd-pleasing pastries (from Homemade PopTarts to croissants) paired with plainspoken tips and a few personal notes. What works best is reliable, reproducible dessert recipes that scale for home cooks who want bakery results. Its limitation: several items use multi-step techniques and pastry-specific equipment, so beginners expecting instant, one-pan sweets may find some recipes time-consuming or fiddly.”
