Morphology
The noun phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition where 'soft' describes the texture of a 'roll' (a small bread). This meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and matches common cross-linguistic food-description patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
Soft roll comes from a simple picture: bakers gently roll dough to make a small, round bread with a soft crust and soft inside. So calling it soft and roll shows why it means a small, soft bread perfect for sandwiches.
