A light, sweet roll or bun (7)

I believe the answer is:

brioche

(Other definitions for brioche that I've seen before include "Sweet yeast bread" , "Soft loaf, rich with butter and eggs" , "Sweet french roll" , "Light sweetish roll" , "Small French roll" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
