- Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rolls rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rack in the center of the oven.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 teaspoon of water. Uncover dough and brush egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake rolls until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Watch and cover rolls with a sheet of foil if they begin to brown too much.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
