1−1/2 cups warm water
5 teaspoons dry yeast
pinch sugar
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon malt powder or syrup − optional
6 cups (approximately) bread flour
milk for brushing
sesame seeds

Place water, yeast and pinch of sugar in bread machine pan and let stand for
a couple of minutes. Add remaining ingredients in order given.

Place machine on 'dough' mode. When cycle is over, remove dough from
machine. Gently deflate. Divide dough in 8−10 portions, cover with a clean
tea towel and let rest five minutes. Shape each portion into a ball and
place, evenly spaced, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Insert entire
sheet in a large plastic bag (like a garbage bag).

Allow to rise until quite puffy (20−30 minutes). Remove from plastic bag.
Flatten each roll gently with palm of hand. Brush, if desired, with milk and
sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Preheat oven to 375 F.​

Bake, until nicely browned (15−20 minutes). Freeze leftovers.
