A Swedish-style saffron bun traditionally consumed en masse around Christmas.

A bun is a small, usually sweet bread. Commonly they are hand-sized or smaller, domed in shape with a flat bottom. It can also mean a savory bread roll similar to a bap or barmcake.

Basic buns are usually made using flour, sugar, eggs, yeast and butter.

"Bun" can also refer to a kind of filled dumpling, such as Chinese baozi.
