In a saucepan, pour water or milk and set over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, then turn off heat, add bread flour, and quickly stir until a thick and smooth paste forms to make the roux.

Place the milk roux, cold milk, Greek yogurt, sugar, yeast, and bread flour into a large bowl. Use a spatula to stir until combined.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding a few drops of vegetable oil, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Put the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

After the first fermentation is done, punch down the dough to knock out all the air. Divide into 16 pieces, forming each into a ball. Roll into a long sausage shape, optionally adding filling, and roll over.

Let the dough rise again until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Brush the top of the bread with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
