Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently, then let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add olive oil and toasted sesame oil to the yeast mixture once it's frothy.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and slowly pour in the yeast mixture, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, toast the sesame seeds on a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool.
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the surface of the dough then gently roll up the dough into a tight log.
Cut the log into 12 equal pieces, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
