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.
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.
Add the warm milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Crack an egg into the mixture and stir until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
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.
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.
Sprinkle an even layer of sesame seeds over the entire surface of the dough, pressing them gently with your hands to adhere.
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.
Loosely cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size again.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
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.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
