Verdict

At the same weight (50 g), two slices of sandwich bread have 127 kcal vs 145 kcal for the roll, more protein (6 g vs 4 g) and fewer carbs (22.1 g vs 29 g). The roll loses a lot of water in the oven and ends up denser in calories. But sandwich bread varies a lot by brand — some have plenty of sugar and fat — so check the label. Per meal the gap is small: the filling matters more.
