Bath Bun

(wisegeek.com) The Bath bun is a large and round, sweet yeast bread traditionally made in the historic city of Bath, a hundred miles west of London, Britain. The Bath bun is best known for being decadently sweet, as bakers insert a sugar lump at the center of the bread and top the bun with candied fruit peel and crushed sugar. Apart from butter, flour, and egg, other sweet ingredients added to the Bath bun include currants, raisins, or sultanas. Other versions of the bun also have almonds added as extra topping.

The Bath bun is often confused with the Sally Lunn bun, also a Bath delicacy. Sally Lunns are made of a relatively light bread that can be eaten together with either sweet or savory foods. What adds to the confusion is that restaurants and bakeshops tend to sell both buns. Sometimes the buns are also confused with other fruit buns, spicy hot cross buns, or any of the French pastries that are also round in shape. The Bath bun, however, is an English invention and a sweet tooth’s delight.
