'''Bath bun''' is a sweet roll that originated in the city of [[Bath, England]]. It is a type of [[yeast bread]] that is often topped with crushed [[sugar]] and [[currants]]. The Bath bun is a traditional [[British cuisine|British]] food item and is particularly associated with the city of Bath.

== History ==
The Bath bun was first created in the 18th century by a physician named [[William Oliver]]. Oliver was trying to create a nutritious food for his patients who were taking the [[mineral water]] treatments in Bath. However, the buns were so rich and sweet that they were said to have contributed to the patients' ailments rather than curing them. As a result, Oliver went on to create the [[Bath Oliver]] biscuit, a much plainer and less sweet food item.

== Preparation ==
The Bath bun is made from a yeast dough that includes [[milk]], [[butter]], and [[eggs]]. The dough is allowed to rise before being shaped into individual buns. The buns are then topped with crushed sugar and currants. Some versions of the Bath bun also include a lump of sugar baked into the middle of the bun.

== Cultural significance ==
The Bath bun is a significant part of Bath's culinary history. It is often served at [[afternoon tea]], a traditional British meal. The bun is also associated with the city's spa culture, as it was originally created for patients taking the mineral water treatments in Bath.
