dinner rolls
Basket bread portions
Dinner rolls are small, soft bread portions served alongside a meal, typically at dinner.
They're individual-sized—meant to be eaten by one person, often torn apart and buttered.
The term distinguishes them from sandwich rolls or larger loaves: She passed the basket of warm dinner rolls around the table.
