Directions

Place water, yeast and pinch of sugar in bread machine pan and let stand for a couple of minutes.

Add in remaining ingredients in order given.

Place machine on dough mode.

When cycle is over, remove dough from machine.

Gently deflate. Divide dough in 8 to 10 portions, cover with a clean tea towel and let rest five minutes.

Shape each portion into a ball and place, evenly spaced apart, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Insert entire sheet in a large plastic bag (like a garbage bag).

Allow to rise until quite puffy, around 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove from plastic bag.

Flatten each roll gently with palm of hand.

Brush, if desired with milk and sprinkle on sesame seeds.

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Bake, until nicely browned, around 15 to 20 minutes.

Freeze leftovers.
