What are they? Does anybody know their american equivalent that tastes like them???? Thanks, mates!

Answer 1

Bap (often a larger soft roll, say 5-6 inches in diameter) stands for barm and pastry. Dough can contain fats such as lard or butter to provide tenderness to dough. Can come in multiple shapes dependent on region. Traditional bap of Scotland is not sweet unlike Irish version which may contain currants.
