How I make it

Mix all the ingredients except the sesame in a bowl until you have a smooth dough.
Chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Shape the dough into 20-30 rolls and sprinkle with sesame.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden.

What I've learned

Sometimes I make tiny rolls and tuck an olive or a cube of extra cheese, such as smoked mozzarella, into each one.
