Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup sesame seeds
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for about 5 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, then add the egg and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball.
Place the balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them for further rising.
Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Gently brush the tops of the risen rolls with the egg wash, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
