A bap is a Welsh bunlike roll with soft crust and almost like a milk loaf inside. The best ever were produced by pinch bakery in Abergavenny both in triangular shape and round. The triangles were by far the best although it was the same dough I think. those days have goneI'm afraid- baps are still made commercially but they are nothing like the one from Pinch Bakery. For our family they were almost legendary and were anticipated long before the plane from JFK touched down in the UK. We usually had them for lunch with ham, Caerphilly cheese and pickle, and often lettuce as well-AND Welsh farmhouse butter! Yum!.
