A type of roll or bun that is an early 19th Century creation that gets its name from a London bakery that no longer exists, “The Old Chelsea Bun House.” The yeast dough is prepared with white bread flour (wheat) and is sweetened with sugar, enriched with eggs and butter, and is lightly spiced.
A speciality from the British city of Bath, the Bath Bun is a yeast dough bread, colored with saffron, baked with currants and dried fruits, and topped with a sugary coating made from crushed sugar lumps.
