Round of bread

A round of bread is a piece of cooked dough in its simplest form, a round lump. It is the most suitable form to oven cook bread on a flat dish and, although one of the oldest oven-bread methods, continues to be one of the most common practiced, particularly in flour buns (such as the bap, the Blaa or more familiar, the burger bun). Breads of a traditional nature, predating the availability of shaped and pre-sliced bread, are commonly made as a round with some examples made alomost exclusively as rounds being soda bread and wheaten bread. "Round of bread" continues to be a common English language term when requesting or describing a single piece of bread but as true rounds of bread are less common these days the term is more ambiguous.
