In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm milk to 110 – 115˚F (43 – 46˚C) (Test tempera-
ture with an instant read thermometer.) Remove from heat. Add yeast and sugar; stir to dis-
solve and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add beaten egg; stir gently to combine.
Transfer to a 2-cup (500 ml) liquid measure and reserve.
Use dough blade to process flour, butter and salt until combined, about 15 to 20 seconds.
With machine running, add yeast mixture through the small feed tube in a steady stream as
fast as the flour absorbs it. After the dough forms a ball, process 45 to 50 seconds to knead.
Place in a large plastic food storage bag and seal top. Let rise until doubled in size, about
1 to 1-1/2 hours.
Lightly coat a 9-inch (22.5 cm) round baking pan with cooking spray. Place dough on a lightly
floured surface and punch down. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and shape each piece
into a ball. Place balls into the pan so they are just touching each other. Cover with plastic
wrap coated with vegetable oil cooking spray and let rise 1 hour. Fifteen minutes before bak-
ing, preheat oven to 350˚ F (177˚ C).
Combine egg and water. Brush over rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated
350˚ F (177˚ C) oven until golden, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Preparation: 20 minutes, plus 3 hours to rise and bake
