Instructions

Prepare ingredients

Soften the butter to room temperature, and beat the egg.

Cream the butter

① Use a whisk to beat the butter until it becomes a white paste. Add the brown sugar to the butter in 2-3 batches, mixing thoroughly. ② Add the egg and mix well. ③ Pour in the vanilla extract and combine.

Add sesame seeds and flour

① Add the sesame seeds and stir with a small spatula. Sift the flour through a fine-mesh sieve while mixing. ② Once the dough comes together, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll out and cut the dough

① Preheat the oven to 170°C. ② Dust the work surface with flour and roll the dough into a 1 cm thick rectangle using a rolling pin. Cut it in half horizontally, then cut vertically into 1 cm wide strips. Roll each strip by hand into a stick shape. ③ Whisk the egg yolk, then mix in the water. ④ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the bread sticks on it with some space between each one, brush the surface with the egg yolk mixture, and bake in the preheated 170°C oven for 12-15 minutes.
