Milk roll or Blackpool roll is a soft, round type of British bread traditionally associated with the town of Blackpool, Lancashire. It is made using milk instead of water, as well as white flour, yeast, and sugar.
Milk roll is soft and light-textured, with a soft crust. The loaf is approximately 7 in (180 mm) in diameter and approximately 14 oz (400 g) in weight.[1]
