Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup sesame seeds
• 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the granulated sugar and yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg to the flour mixture. Stir to form a soft dough.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 8

Shape each portion into a small roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Brush each roll with the beaten egg for the egg wash and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.

Step 10

Let the rolls rest for about 15 minutes to rise slightly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

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