Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Non-fat dry milk powder
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
• 1 Egg white

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and vital wheat gluten.

Step 2

Add the instant yeast to the flour mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix warm water, non-fat dry milk powder, olive oil, honey, and salt.

Step 4

Beat the egg and add it to the liquid mixture.

Step 5

Gradually combine the liquid ingredients with the dry ingredients using a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed for about 6 to 8 minutes until a smooth and elastic dough forms.

Step 6

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 doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Punch down the dough to release the gases. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a round roll. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.

Step 10

Beat the egg white with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with the egg wash.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the tops of the rolls.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

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