A '''bun''' is a small, sometimes sweet, [[bread]] or [[bread roll]]. Though they come in many shapes and sizes, they are most commonly hand-sized or smaller, with a round top and flat bottom.


Buns are usually made from [[flour]], [[sugar]], [[milk]], [[Baker's yeast|yeast]] and [[butter]]. Common varieties contain small fruit or nuts, are topped with [[Icing (food)|icing]] or [[caramel]], or filled with [[jam]] or [[cream]]. Some types of buns are filled with various [[meat]]s.


"Bun" may also refer to particular types of filled [[dumpling]]s, such as Chinese [[baozi]] and Lutonian [[Halapchi]]. Some of these types of dumplings may be bread-like in texture.


A bun is normally made from dough that has been 'enriched' with sugar and butter and even sometimes egg. Without any of these the dough remains to be 'bread dough' rather than 'bun dough' and the resultant product will be called a roll, rather than a bun.
