A bun is a small, sometimes sweet, bread-based item[1] or 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, yeast and butter. Common sweet varieties contain
small fruit or nuts, and may topped with icing or caramel, or filled with jam or cream. Some types of
buns are filled with various meats, or used to serve meats (such as hotdogs or hamburgers).
"Bun" may also refer to particular types of filled dumplings, such as Chinese baozi. 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 occasionally
egg. Without any of these, the dough remains to be 'bread dough' rather than 'bun dough'.
