Question: What is the name of the Mexican/Latino bread roll, shaped like a large hamburger bun and very slightly sweet?
I used to get them at the Latino market in Los Angeles and the Mexican grocery store in Sacramento. I cannot remember the name. They were wheat based, not cornmeal based, and you had to split them yourself.

If you know the name of these rolls, do you also have a recipe? I love them for breakfast with leftover refried beans, salsa and cheese on them. I’d like to start a batch before bed, but honestly cannot remember the name to research a recipe.

Thanks for your help!

I believe it did start with a “B”, but birote doesn’t sound quite right. Does it have more than one name or any alternate spellings?

As I mentioned, it wasn’t really a sweet bread. It had only a very slightly sweet aftertaste to it.
