Ingredients
- 100 ml Milk (for the tangzhong paste)
- 25 g Wheat flour (for tangzhong paste)
- 500 g Wheat flour (for dough)
- 180 ml Milk (for the cake)
- 25 g Sugar
- 10 g Salt
- 25 g Fresh yeast
- 40 g Egg yolks
- 60 g Butter
- 50 g Egg (for brushing)
- 10 g White sesame seeds
Preparation
- Prepare the tangzhong paste: In a small saucepan, mix 100 ml of milk with 25 g of flour. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, the remaining milk, sugar, salt, fresh yeast, egg yolks, butter, and the tangzhong paste you prepared earlier.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover it with a dish towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions and shape them into rolls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for another 15 minutes to rise again.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Brush the risen rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
- Bake at 200 degrees for about 18 minutes, until golden brown. Once baked, set aside to cool.
