Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the butter, and using your fingertips, rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 1cm thick.
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into pieces.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the rolled dough, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough to form a log.
Cut the log into 8 slices and arrange them on the prepared baking tray, cut side up.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the rolls.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade bacon and cheese rolls warm or at room temperature.
