Ingredients
Method

Ingredients

  • 20g fresh yeast
  • 200ml lukewarm water
  • 2 eggs
  • 40g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 1-2 tbsp white sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • Fat/oil for greasing the muffin tin

  • Method

  • 1
    Begin by dissolving the yeast in the lukewarm water.
  • 2
    Separate the egg yolk from the egg white and put aside 2 tbsp egg whites to coat the rolls.
  • 3
    Whisk the remaining egg white with the egg yolk in a bowl.
  • 4
    Mix the yeast water, butter, whisked eggs, sugar and salt in a bowl, then add the flour. Once the ingredients are combined together, place the mixture on a lightly floured work surface and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
  • 5
    Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover. Leave to rise for about 1-1½ hours until it has doubled in size.
  • 6
    Knead the dough again briefly after rising and divide into 12 portions. Roll into 12 smooth balls.
  • 7
    Grease the muffin tin with a little oil. Put the dough balls into the muffin tin and leave to rise for about another hour, covered (preferably with lightly oiled cling film placed loosely over the entire tray) until they have risen.
  • 8
    Preheat the oven to 170°C/ 150°C/ Gas Mark 3.
  • 9
    Mix the remaining egg white with 1 tbsp of water, brush the rolls with the glaze and then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  • 10
    Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the tin while still hot and leave to cool until ready to serve.
