burger bun

Sandwich's soft frame

A burger bun is a round bread roll sliced horizontally to hold a hamburger patty and its toppings.

The top and bottom halves cradle the burger, making it handheld.

Burger buns are typically soft with a slightly glossy top, sometimes sprinkled with sesame seeds: I prefer brioche burger buns for their buttery richness.
