Mix yeast, sugar and lukewarm water in a bowl. Allow to sit for 10 mins.
In the meantime, take a large bowl and mix all purpose flour with salt.
Mix eggs, milk, honey and softened butter together.
Combine all the above ingredients together and knead into a dough for 7-8 minutes. Cover the dough and proof for one and a half hours or till doubled in size.
Tip out on a clean surface and divide into eight equal portions.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roll each portion into a round shape and place them on the sheet, ensuring that they have space to double in size.
Cover and let them rise in a warm spot for about one hour, or until puffy.
Beat an egg for the final wash. Brush the buns with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 30 mins.
