large flat soft bread roll - What do YOU call it

Nah a stottie is a HUGE muffin :D As sold in Asda, pack of 2 for 60p, or 2 packs for a quid :D
 
Looks like a bap to me but then I have them on my mind tonight as been up the rugby club............ ;):lol:
 
SOFT - it's a bap.

CRUSTY - it's a cob.

End of! :shrug:
 
Hard to tell from the pic but if its the size of a bread roll its a bread roll & if its bigger its a bap (in N.I. anyway) **** knows what the locals in Surrey call them probably a cob although I think a cob is the crusty version :lol:
Paul ;)
 
It's a bread bun! I spent the first 20 years of my life in Doncaster and they were bread buns or rolls - never heard them being called tea cakes unless they had currants in them :p
Spent 3 years in Manchester where they were called barms (but could never bring myself to say it!). Now live down south where I still call them bread buns, but my other half calls them baps.
 
I'm with Diddy Dave and Delph on this one, Teacakes and Currant Teacakes, although being born North of the Border, the Jockish was Rolls................................................... I'm confused now!!!!!!!:thinking::thinking::thinking:

That's a roll - a bap has flour on it and a denser texture...
 
I've always called them rolls, regardless of density.

When I was growing up it was....

Only a bun when it has a beef burger inbetween.
A cob was to throw something; usually at someone.
A bap(s) was slang for breasts.

:D
 
Cob for me :D

Marcel could you do a quick poll on all the names, then we may have a clear winner?
 
Its a roll

soft roll
crusty roll

there all bread rolls !!!!!!!!

I just dont know what your all argueing about its a roll :)
 
Its a breadcake

round, flat - Breadcake.
round, flat and very large - Oven bottom.
round, flat, currants in it - teacake.
long, round - bread roll.
 
My recent time in Tamworth and Coventry has taught me the word 'batch' for these rolls - or am I mistaken?

(Btw - I'm a southerner - its a roll!!!)
 
If soft and floured it's a bap! Crusty and it becomes a roll! :D
 
Just to re open old wounds for everyone as a ex baker we called them soft roles. They are called a role because when making it you role the doe before flatening slightly. The long ones are called thorpedoes or if crusty baguetts or french sticks.

Soft roll or bap... or burger bun if you intend on putting a burger in it.

Ahhhhh . . . the voice of reason :thumbs:

Soft Roll or Bap it is.
Why would you call it anything else?

They're almost all rolls, but :

A cob is a crusty roll.
A bun is a sweet roll - unless you're American and putting a burger in it.
A teacake has fruit in it.
A muffin is one of those dense, flattish bread rolls that you slice in half and eat for breakfast. (NOT a cake - again, unless you're American . . . but I'm sure they rename things just to try to confuse us)

Barms / Batches / Stotties . . . pah you’re just making words up now! ;) :razz:

Bap or soft roll . . . end of.
 
It's a teacake where I come from (West Cumbria) - my gran calls it a teacake, and she's right about everything. Teacakes with fruit in them are called fruit teacakes!! :D The manc missus would probably call it a muffin or barm cake, dependent on a chip/non chip filling.

Hmmm, I think I'll have a cheese TEACAKE for dinner (not lunch! :p)...:D
 
Definitely a teacake. There are "plain" teacakes and "currant" teacakes but that's it.
 
Sold on Clitheroe market in Lancashire as a tea cake or barm cake. Just to add a bit of confusion, if its baked on the top shelves its a barm cake, further down they call them oven bottoms !!!

Doesn't an oven bottom fall into the 'muffin' category??
 
Barm.

Us Northerners have the right name. :thumbs:
 
It shall be known as a stottie you heathens. Anything else and may fire and brimstone rain down upon your worthless hides.
 
In parts of manchester its also known as a 'Clog' as in "Chips 'n Gravy and a buttered Clog!"

:D
 
In Lancashire they're called teacakes. Smaller and fatter they're called baps.
Oven bottoms, or muffins, are turned over during baking to create the golden, flat baked top.
They're all based on the same bread mix, but teacakes have a longer 'proving', or rising time. Unless they're currant teacakes and they have added . . . currants.
