Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 5 grams Salt
• 180 milliliters Milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 50 grams Sesame seeds
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 15 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm to the touch, but not hot (about 37-40°C or 98-104°F). Remove from heat and add the unsalted butter, stirring until melted.

Step 3

Add the warm milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Crack an egg into the mixture and stir until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.

Step 7

Sprinkle an even layer of sesame seeds over the entire surface of the dough, pressing them gently with your hands to adhere.

Step 8

Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring the cut side faces up.

Step 9

Loosely cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size again.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the sesame rolls with the egg wash for a shiny finish.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
