Papparoti

Papparoti is a bun originating from Malaysia. Although the papparoti is nowadays trademarked, it started as a new version of roti flatbread which was made into a bun in 2002 by a Malaysian woman. The buns are made with a combination of flour, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, salt, and eggs. Before baking, the papparoti are topped with an icing made from coffee and caramel. Crunchy on the outside and rich and buttery inside, these buns have been popular since 2003, when the first trademarked PappaRoti store opened in Malaysia. It's usually paired with tea or coffee, and nowadays these sweet and salty buns can be bought across Asia, Australia, England, the Middle East, and North America.
