Morning roll
The morning roll[1] is an airy, chewy bread roll popular in Scotland.
Variants
The well-fired roll is given a stronger flavour in its bulk fermentation and baked at a higher temperature.[2][3][4][5]
In Fife, a cabin biscuit or cabin roll (/ˈkeɪ.bɪn/ or /ˈkæ.bɪn/) is a local vaiant. Originating in Buckhaven, extra sugar was added to extend the life of the roll for use by crews on fishing boats. They bear distinctive prick marks on top.[6][7][8][7]
Traditional fillings
Purchase locations
Scottish morning rolls are not traditionally purchased from supermarkets, but from bakeries, newsagents,[9] corner shops, butcher shops, and fish and chip shops. Recently, however, supermarkets such as the Scotmid have made deals with local bakeries[10] to provide the rolls in-store.
