2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. dry yeast dissolved in 3 tbsp. warm water
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. lukewarm milk
Sesame seeds

Place 1 cup flour in mixing bowl. Blend in yeast mixture. Knead until smooth. Put in floured bowl and cover with damp cloth. Leave in warm place until doubled in bulk.

Mix rest of ingredients (except for sesame seeds) into a smooth paste. Place on floured board and add risen dough. Knead until smooth and satiny. Put dough back into freshly floured bowl, cover and let rise a second time until doubled in bulk. Turn and knead until it doesn't stick to unfloured board.

Divide into 24 parts. Shape each part by rolling between hands--into a rope 6 or 7 inches long. Place on buttered baking sheet 1 inch apart. Brush with milk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 6 or 7 minutes in 425 degree oven.
