Depends what type it is.
A floury bap, or a crusty roll or an oven bottom bap.

I'm a teacake chap I'm afraid, I differentiate between the savoury and fruited ones by asking for a "currant teacake" when I'm in my usual northern locale but appreciate the need to adjust my wording as I travel around. A "large white" tends to get the job done.

I remember a very confused conversation in a small bakery in Kent once, as a child I wanted a packet of Rolos, the staff seemed unable to grasp this and tried to sell me teacakes / baps / rolls. I think I left in tears.

A local bakery does the "Scuffler" thing - small teacakes with one end that comes to a point, odd little things but they seem really popular, I just see them as holding less filling that conventional round ones.

Then you have the submarine roll... do they count in this?

This man talks sense.
