Soft & Fluffy Homemade Bread

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients (except egg yolk and sesame) to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
3. Roll out each portion into a flat rectangle. Brush with melted butter and roll it up tightly.
4. Let the rolls rest for 30 minutes.
5. After resting, roll each piece again slightly and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Make small cuts on top for decoration.
6. Let the dough rise for 1 hour until puffy.
7. Brush each roll with egg yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
