Method

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto generously floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl. Turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.) Punch down dough and divide into 8 equal parts. Roll and shape each part into a rope about 24 inches long. Moisten ends with water. Bring ends of rope together and pinch to form a ring about 6 inches in diameter. Beat together egg and 2 teaspoons water with fork. Spread sesame seeds on dinner plate. Brush each ring with egg mixture. Dip into sesame seeds. Place rings, sesame seed side up, on large greased baking sheets. Cover loosely and let rise until double, about 30 minutes. Heat oven to 400F. Bake until rings are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
