Ingredients :

300 g all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk powder
1 ½ teaspoons instant dried yeast
1 egg (medium) ~ slightly beaten. Set aside a small amount for glazing.
2 tablespoons margarine
100 ml fresh milk
50 ml lukewarm water
2 tablespoons water roux
enough sesame seeds

Glaze :

Slightly beaten egg + 1 teaspoon fresh milk + a few drops of honey (for a shiny look)


Bread Maker method :

1. Pour the lukewarm water and milk into the bread maker pan.
2. Add in water roux, egg, sugar and salt.
3. Top it with flour, milk powder and instant dried yeast.
4. Set the bread maker to Dough setting. Once the dough is just combined, add in the margarine. Let the Bread Maker continues it's job which will takes about 1 1/2 hour to finish the cycle.
5. Remove the dough from the bread maker. Divide into 70g dough each. Make into a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes.
6. Shape the dough into round balls and flatten it slightly to make the burger rolls.
7. Leave to prove for another 1/2 hour or so.
8. Brush the rolls with the glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 15 minutes.
10. Open the oven door and spray the rolls with a bit of water. This is to ensure the sesame seeds stay attached to the rolls.
11. Bake for another 10 minutes or till rolls are done.
12. Remove from oven and brush with a bit of margarine, once out of the oven.


As I do not own a bread maker (yet) I use mixer to do its job..


Conventional method (using mixer)


1. Add yeast into lukewarm milk, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. 
2. Mix flour, the remaining sugar, salt, water roux and no 1
3. Turn on the mixer to the medium speed until the dough is just combined
4. Add butter and mix until well combined
5. Leave to prove until double its size.
