Pour the warm water into the bread machine's bread pan.
Add the sugar, and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Add the flour, salt, unsalted butter, and the egg into the bread pan in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine, select the 'Dough' cycle, and start the machine.
When the cycle is complete (approximately 1.5 hours), remove the dough from the machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shape each portion into a smooth ball, and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20-30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix the milk with a splash of water to create an egg wash and lightly brush the tops of the rolls.
Evenly sprinkle poppy seeds and sesame seeds over the rolls.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
