Ingredients

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape the dough into rolls, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
