Back home on the Wirral, I'd have called it a batch. When I moved to London, I started referring to them as Rolls.

What do you call them?

Uhm.. In my own language just "brödlimpa" (=loaf of bread)

See, that's not a loaf of bread here. A loaf of bread looks like this:-

We use "en limpa bröd/brödlimpa" for most bread when it's in that form. Regardless of what the shape of it is..

So a cheeseburger roll would still be called bread? :... language is such a funny thing.

Allow me to rephrase... As long as it's bread (and only bread) it's a loaf of bread (translated). But we still use words like buns, rolls etc... Just that when it's bread (regardless of whether it's a rectangle shaped bread, circular or square shaped) it's a loaf of bread...

^Does it make any kind of sense?

So that brings us back to the question - what would you call that particular one (it's a roll that you'd use for burgers). would you refer to it as a roll, a bun, a bap, a batch

 

[Martin]

Ahh... It just looked like a loaf of bread to me.. My bad!

 

[Shawn Gossman]

Looks like a bun to me...

I call it a roll.

In Coventry we would call it a batch too. A real conversation:
Me: "I'd like a cheese and onion batch please"
Snobbish woman in sandwich shop: "Do you mean a roll?"
Me: "If when you say roll you mean batch then yes I mean a roll."

That's pretty much what happened to me when I moved from the Wirral (Cheshire) to London. I referred to them as batches and got blank looks until I picked one up and then got "ohhh that's a roll!"

Bun, rolls are smaller. Though if that was swirled with cinnamon and icing, it would be cinnamon roll.
