From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.

That's a bap, innit.
Londoner here. That’s a roll that is. Unless you’re putting a burger in it, then it’s a bun.
Or you’re putting bacon in it, then it’s a bap
Sneaky colonial sneaking in here to agree with you. I'm from NJ and this is it exactly.
That is a bread roll, baps are wider and flatter and floured, might be a "batch roll" but only if really want to be totally clear on type
Right. If it's small (and soft) it's a dinner roll. A low quality one at that.
Slather it in butter and use it to make a chicken supernoodle sandwich and then tell me it's low quality.

We doing this are we? Recipe for disaster.
Anyway Geordie here but raised a Fifer too. So naturally they are rolls. All other answers are wrong. Confused the hell out of my Mum when we first moved up, and resulted in many an accidently bought iced buns.
What confuses me about most non-bun areas is that it's not just a different word, it's a collection of words and which one is correct seems to change based on size and consistency and even contents of said bun.
Are they always rolls, where you are now, or are they subject to a similarly complex system as elsewhere?
I'm in Edinburgh, and they are almost exclusively rolls, or morning rolls. Sometimes baps. Not sure that isn't just for the giggles. Never buns. A bun is sweet. But since this is a country that calls sugary fizzy drinks in cans "juice", I don't think we can take the high ground here.

Roll, too small for a bap
Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
I'm scrolling through and so far this is the only one that feels objectively wrong.
It's a roll but of the inferior type, you need a crispy Morton's roll that's where it's at

Born and raised in Liverpool. It's a bap. A bigger, wider one is a barm (barm-cake) and here in the US of A, they like to call the particular sort from the picture, a dinner roll.
Doesn't get called a lunch roll if it's lunch time.
Bread bun
Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I'm not sure if it looks crusty enough.

One of my girlfriends arse cheeks.
She affectionately calls them her "Hot Cross Bums"
Barmcake for sure
If its soft it's a roll. If it's hard its a bap.
First name that comes to mind for me is it's a bap.
It's a batch.
Ohh that’s a new one to me. Where from?
Coventry.
That is a roll.
If you intend to put a burger in it, then it's a bun.
Norfolk.
It's not even burnt!
US, in Texas. That is a roll.
It's a roll, or more specifically they're called morning rolls, or at least that's what the company who delivers food for my work calls it.
