A bun is a small, usually sweet bread. Commonly they are hand-sized or smaller, domed in shape with a flat bottom. It can also mean a savory bread roll similar to a bap or barmcake.

Basic buns are usually made using flour, sugar, eggs, yeast and butter.

"Bun" can also refer to a kind of filled dumpling, as Chinese baozi and the Lutonian Halapchi.

A bun can be long and skinny, short and round and or come in many different shapes and sizes.
