How to make Super Soft Sesame Rolls
You can definitely make dough the traditional way with a stand mixer or even by hand, but I do feel that a bread machine on the dough cycle gives you the best result if you have access to one.

How to form the rolls
Once the dough has gone through the cycle, remove and lightly deflate. Form into a round and then into equal sized wedges. Keep in mind, these will rise before baking and again during baking so go a bit smaller for burger sized buns. For burgers, rather than 8 wedges, I would opt for 12.

Roll the wedges into balls, pinching the seam at the bottom to seal. Cover with a lint free towel and allow to rise for another 30 minutes to an hour, or until doubled in size.

Prior to baking, brush with butter. They’ll get another brushing just after baking.

Bake until golden.

Here comes that second brushing of melted butter.

And now I sprinkle with white sesame seeds so they’ll stick.

Perfectly baked rounds. Allow to cool completely before slicing. I use a serrated bread knife to halve them.
