Sesame Milk Rolls
Soft, fluffy sesame milk rolls with a tender crumb and golden tops sprinkled generously with sesame seeds. These homemade rolls are lightly sweet, rich from milk and butter, and perfect for dinner, brunch, or sandwiches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all purpose flour (500 grams)
- 1 1/4 cups warm whole milk (300 ml)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (7 grams)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (60 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt (6 grams)
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until slightly foamy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and shape into smooth balls.
- Arrange in prepared baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Brush tops lightly with milk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush lightly with melted butter before serving.
Notes
- Milk should be warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- Do not add too much flour or the rolls may become dense.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze fully cooled rolls and reheat in the oven for best texture.
