Ingredients
strong white flour
500 g
easy-blend dry yeast
2 teaspoons
caster sugar
1 teaspoon
butter
4 ounces (room temperature)
water
310 ml
salt
1.5 teaspoons

Instructions
1
Add the flour, dry yeast, caster sugar, butter, water, and salt into the bread machine as per the manufacturer's instructions. Select and start the 'dough' cycle.
2
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it onto a well-floured surface. Lightly knead the dough and shape it into a rough 8-inch square.
3
Using a pastry brush, coat the surface of the dough with the beaten egg, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle the dough generously with poppy and sesame seeds.
4
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the square of dough into 16 equal portions. Alternatively, you can shape the dough into individual rolls by hand.
5
Transfer the shaped rolls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place until they are nearly doubled in size.
6
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or Gas Mark 5.
7
After the rolls have risen, place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are a deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
8
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, adding butter if desired.
