Stottie cakes are large approx 9in flat with a finger print in the centre (think they have shrunk and were 12in) here in Newcastle, cant beat them with good ham and pease pudding.

Talk of oatcakes on another thread made me think of this.

Where I grew up in Lancashire, a soft, flat roll of bread was called a Barm Cake and it had a mark in the middle top where the baker will have imprinted his/her thumb.
Similar bits of bread, with soft or harder crust, sometimes dusted with flour, are called simply Rolls in Scotland.
Elsewhere people call them Baps.

I'd like to draw a "bap map" of Britain and look up the linguistic derivations.

Any others?

Similarly, Cob, Pan Loaf, etc.
What other names do people know/use for pieces of bread? (A Piece is a sandwich in Scotland).
