About Bulkie bun

Bulkie buns are soft, round bread rolls popular in North American cuisine, particularly in New England. Originating from regional bakeries, they are often used for sandwiches, burgers, or as a dinner accompaniment. Made with flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and occasionally milk or eggs, their slightly chewy texture and mild flavor make them versatile. In terms of nutrition, bulky buns provide a decent energy source through carbohydrates and minimal fat. However, they may lack significant fiber if made with refined white flour, potentially leading to a higher glycemic index. Whole grain versions offer enhanced fiber and nutrient content, making them a healthier alternative. While not inherently unhealthy, consuming bulky buns in moderation and pairing them with nutrient-rich fillings can create a more balanced meal, appealing to those seeking both enjoyment and sustenance in their diet.
