'maybe roll' is the definition.
'brioche' can be an answer for 'roll' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'maybe' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for brioche that I've seen before include "Soft loaf, rich with butter and eggs" , "Idol" , "Type of light soft roll" , "Sweet yeast bread" , "Light sweetish roll" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
