About Soft white roll
Soft white rolls are a type of bread commonly found in Western cuisines and are particularly popular in American, European, and British baking traditions. They are made from refined white flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes sugar or fats for enhanced flavor and texture. These rolls are often light, airy, and slightly sweet, making them a popular choice for sandwiches or as a side to soups and salads. Nutrition-wise, they are primarily carbohydrate-rich, with moderate protein levels and minimal fat content. A typical soft white roll (about 50g) provides around 150 calories, 28g of carbohydrates, 4g of protein, less than 1g of fat, and small amounts of iron and B vitamins like niacin, though lacking significant fiber due to the refined flour used.
