Whisk the yeast with granulated sugar in warm milk and let it foam for 5 minutes; combine with the flour, salt, and melted butter and knead a soft dough.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, until doubled.
Divide the risen dough into portions and shape each one; moisten the tops with water and coat with sesame seeds.
Arrange the buns on a parchment-lined tray and rest for 10 minutes; brush the tops with beaten egg yolk.
Bake in an oven heated to 190°C for 20 minutes, until the tops are golden.
Rest the buns for 5 minutes after they come out of the oven and serve warm; tea goes well alongside.
💡 Tip: Foam the yeast with sugar in warm milk for 5 minutes to confirm it is active. Brush egg yolk on the shaped breads after placing them on the tray so they bake with a glossy crust.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place the hot buns on a plate and complete the Eskisehir breakfast table with tomato slices, white cheese, and olives.
