soft roll
Pillowy dinner bread
A soft roll is a small, tender bread roll with a light, yielding texture—the kind served with dinner or used for sandwiches.
The softness comes from enriched dough containing milk, butter, or eggs: She split a soft roll and buttered it.
Contrast with crusty rolls or hard rolls, which have a firm exterior.
