From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.
That is a bread roll, baps are wider and flatter and floured, might be a "batch roll" but only if really want to be totally clear on type
Londoner here. That’s a roll that is. Unless you’re putting a burger in it, then it’s a bun.
Or you’re putting bacon in it, then it’s a bap
No it’s still a roll. 🙂
Sneaky colonial sneaking in here to agree with you. I'm from NJ and this is it exactly.
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.
"Is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?"
That's a bap, innit.
Roll, too small for a bap
Bread bun
One of my girlfriends arse cheeks.
She affectionately calls them her "Hot Cross Bums"
We doing this are we? Recipe for disaster.
Anyway Geordie here but raised a Fifer too. So naturally they are rolls. All other answers are wrong. Confused the hell out of my Mum when we first moved up, and resulted in many an accidently bought iced bun.
What confuses me about most non-bun areas is that it's not just a different word, it's a collection of words and which one is correct seems to change based on size and consistency and even contents of said bun.
Are they always rolls, where you are now, or are they subject to a similarly complex system as elsewhere?
Barmcake for sure
Bun
Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
Born and raised in Liverpool. It's a bap. A bigger, wider one is a barm (barm-cake) and here in the US of A, they like to call the particular sort from the picture, a dinner roll.
Doesn't get called a lunch roll if it's lunch time.
I can't believe everyone has got this wrong.
It's a muffin.

I just call those bread rolls. It reminds me of when I first when to Scotland and went to a shop and asked for a bacon roll. They looked at me like I was mad and said, you mean a roll and bacon?
If its soft it's a roll. If it's hard its a bap.
It's a batch.
Ohh that’s a new one to me. Where from?
Coventry.
It's a roll but of the inferior type, you need a crispy Morton's roll that's where it's at
King's Hawaiian is my roll/bun of choice as an American.
To be a roll it has to be made of bread, not sugar 😂
I'm American, my body rejects anything that's not at least 50% sugar. I go into withdrawals.
Baps!

It's a bun
Wit bolletje or just bollen, i’m Dutch.
Right. If it's small (and soft) it's a dinner roll. A low quality one at that.
What do you call rolls that you eat at lunchtime?
Also dinner rolls. Now to be clear. I'm in the Seattle metro. We can be strange about some things.
Slather it in butter and use it to make a chicken supernoodle sandwich and then tell me it's low quality.

Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.
How big is a "bun" to you then? What's the cutoff?
While not claiming to be any authority on the bread sciences, I’d say that a roll is roughly the size of just the palm, while a bun is closer to the size of the full hand.
A bun also passes the Burger Test: Could you easily fit a burger on this bread? If yes, it’s a bun; if no, it’s a roll.
It's a bap.
It's like I'm still on reddit.
Is it a roll, a bap, a cob or a flibble?
That's a bap.

No politics please. Don't be a dick.
