About Butter roll

Butter rolls are soft, buttery bread rolls originating largely from American and European baking traditions. They are made from enriched dough containing butter, milk, sugar, and eggs, resulting in a tender texture and rich flavor. Typically served as a side dish or a snack, butter rolls are high in carbohydrates and fats, providing immediate energy. A single roll (approximately 50g) contains roughly 150-180 calories, 25-30g of carbohydrates, 5-8g of fat, and 3-5g of protein, depending on the recipe. While they are an indulgent treat, butter rolls are not particularly nutrient-dense but can be a source of quick energy during meals.

Health Benefits

Common Questions About Butter roll Nutrition

Is a butter roll high in protein?

Butter rolls are not considered high in protein, as they typically contain only about 2-4 grams of protein per serving (often 1 roll or around 40 grams). They are more carbohydrate-heavy and provide minimal protein compared to other baked goods like whole-grain bread.

Can I eat butter rolls on a keto diet?

Butter rolls are not compatible with a strict keto diet due to their high carbohydrate content, which typically ranges from 15-25 grams per roll. Keto diets require keeping daily net carbs low, and the refined flour in butter rolls would likely exceed carb limits.

Are butter rolls healthy to eat regularly?

While butter rolls can be enjoyed in moderation, they are generally not considered highly nutritious due to their refined flour and high-calorie content, often around 150-200 calories per roll. Overconsumption can contribute to weight gain, and the added saturated fat and sodium should be managed within a balanced diet.

What is the recommended serving size of a butter roll?

The typical serving size for a butter roll is one roll weighing around 40-50 grams, providing about 150-200 calories. To avoid excess calories or carbohydrates, consume butter rolls sparingly, paired with protein-rich or fiber-rich sides for balance.

How do butter rolls compare to croissants?

Butter rolls are similar to croissants in flavor but differ in texture and nutritional profile. Butter rolls are denser and simpler, often containing fewer calories (150-200 per roll) compared to croissants, which can have 230-300 calories due to their high butter content and flaky layered texture.
