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.
Sneaky colonial sneaking in here to agree with you. I’m from NJ and this is it exactly.
Or you’re putting bacon in it, then it’s a bap
No it’s still a roll. 🙂
Roll, too small for a bap
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.
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?
I’m in Edinburgh, and they are almost exclusively rolls, or morning rolls. Sometimes baps. Not sure that isn’t just for the giggles. Never buns. A bun is sweet. But since this is a country that calls sugary fizzy drinks in cans “juice”, I don’t think we can take the high ground here.
Bread bun
Barmcake for sure
Bun
One of my girlfriends arse cheeks.
She affectionately calls them her “Hot Cross Bums”

I can’t believe everyone has got this wrong.
It’s a muffin.

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.
Brunchfast of champions to students everywhere.
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!
