After baking the delicious Banana Loaf Bread [recipe from Hidehide's Home Baking], I tried another of the recipe, White Black Sesame Bread.  The quantity is for two trays of 9 buns each.
Ingredients

400 gm bread flour
100 gm plain flour
1.25 tsp salt
3 tbsp castor sugar
250 ml warm water
50 gm [1 egg] egg
3.25 tsp instant yeast
50 gm butter
Black sesame seed - proper amount
White sesame seed - proper amount
Prepared buns before proofing
Buns after proofing for 40-50 minutes
White and Black Sesame Bread
  1. In a mixing bowl, put in water and yeast.  Leave for 5 minutes till frothy.  Add in sifted flour, sugar, salt and yeast.  Using a dough hook, knead ingredients for 5 minutes on medium speed till soft.  Then add in butter.  Continue kneading for another 10-15 minutes till the dough is soft, smooth and elastic.
  2. Remove mixing bowl from machine, cover with a clean cloth to proof for about 20-30 minutes or till double in size.  Punch down and divide dough into 18 equal portions.  Roll each portion into a smooth round ball.
  3. Prepare 1 plate each of white and black sesame seeds and beaten egg.
  4. Dip ball into beaten egg and then sesame seeds.  Place on baking tray and leave to proof for 40-50 minutes or double in size.
  5. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C for 10 minutes, then bake bread on lower middle rack for 25-30 minutes.  Remove bread to cool on rack before storing.
