Shape pieces of dough into thick pencil shapes and roll onto the sesame seeds to coat lightly or according to taste.
Double over rolled dough and twist, or form into rings, figure eights or coils.
Place on greased baking sheets and glaze with reserved egg beaten with a little milk.
Bake in a moderate oven at 350℉ (180℃). for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
