Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Flatten each portion and place a spoonful of red bean paste in the center; fold the dough over to seal.

Shape into a ball and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack before serving.
