Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 50 grams sugar
• 10 grams salt
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 250 milliliters warm milk
• 60 milliliters warm water
• 1 egg
• 1 (for egg wash) egg
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and begins to foam, indicating that the yeast is active.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg.

Step 5

Pour the milk mixture and yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix together with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Transfer it back to your floured surface.

Step 9

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball by rolling it on the surface of your counter or between your palms.

Step 10

Arrange the dough balls into a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 11

Cover the dough balls again with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until they puff up notably.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the rolls.

Step 14

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the tops of the rolls.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
