Morning roll

Last updated

The morning roll [1] is an airy, chewy bread roll popular in Scotland.

The well-fired roll is given a stronger flavour in its bulk fermentation and baked at a higher temperature, and has a dark crust. [2] [3] [4] [5]

In Fife, a cabin biscuit or cabin roll ( /ˈk.bɪn/ or /ˈkæ.bɪn/ ) is a local variant. 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] It is a bread roll and not similar to a biscuit in the conventional British or American sense.

Scottish morning rolls are sold in bakeries, petrol stations and newsagents. [9]
