A sweet roll or sweet bun refers to any of a number of sweet, baked, yeast- leavened breakfast or dessert foods. They may contain spices, nuts, candied fruits, etc., and are often glazed or topped with icing. [1] Compared to regular bread dough, sweet roll dough generally has higher levels of sugar, fat, eggs, and yeast. [2] They are often round, [3] and are small enough to comprise a single serving. [4] These differ from pastries, which are made from a paste-like batter; [5] from cakes, which are typically unleavened or chemically leavened; [6] and from doughnuts, which are deep fried. [7]
Refrigerated ready-to-bake sweet roll dough is commercially available in grocery stores. [8]
Sweet rolls are sometimes iced and/or contain a sweet filling. [9] [10] In some traditions, other types of fillings and decoration are used, such as cinnamon, marzipan, [11] or candied fruit. [12]
