Author's Notes

If using active dry yeast: Whisk the egg with the water. Add the heated milk-butter mixture. Stir to combine. The mixture should be lukewarm. Sprinkle the yeast over top and let stand for 15 minutes or until it gets foamy; then add to the flour, salt, and sugar mixture. Proceed with the recipe.

To be sure each roll is of equal size: Use a scale to weigh each roll.

If desired: After applying the egg wash, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as toasted sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
