A Stulle is a (open) sandwich, though, not a roll. There's also Bemme in Saxony, which means the same.
The Pfannkuchen thing is rather easily explained. It was a Berlin invention and made in a pan so it's actually a Berliner Pfannkuchen. In Berlin and the surrounding region people left out the first part, naturally, while elsewhere they only kept the first part.
In the south it was equated with "Krapfen" (which is actually something slightly different.

And it's not a donut at all.

High north west it´s used. And I find it so logically, because...its under the earth, you pull it out..it looks like a root and has green leaves on top.. so its a "Wurzel".

Here is a Gardening Australia page which is about the Mangle-wurzel

Jelly Doughnuts, or Jam Doughnuts, depends where you are, but still a holess doughnut.

 

[Count Zero]

I don't know how they're called but as far I know, they're made from a different kind of dough and in a different way compared to Pfannkuchen.

Well, looks like we can blame the Germans for how messed-up English is!

I always chuckle at that, especially the terms people come up with he should have used instead. A Berliner can be a bakery product and an inhabitant of Berlin.

Right. If someone says "I'm a New Yorker," do you think he means he's a copy of the magazine?

Berliner is a type of cold deli meat in NSW, and is called Polony in Western Australia.

And here I thought the English form would be 'hullo'.

No no...that's "Herro."

A funny movie, but Koreans don't necessarily have a problem with L's, though R's are problematic. The aproximate sound to R requires the tongue to move, When it is the end of one syllable and starts the next it makes a perfect match for L. So they tend to turn R into L rather than the reverse unless they are hyper-correcting.
