In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in warm water and olive oil. Mix the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded 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 doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough to remove air bubbles and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a small ball and then form into a roll shape with your hands.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the top of each roll to help the sesame seeds stick.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds generously on top of each roll.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
