Separate the yolks from the whites, using 4 yolks.

Measure 500 grams of flour and place it on a surface.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 stick of butter (half), vanilla essence, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

Warm the milk and mix it with 1 tablespoon of instant yeast; let it rest for a few minutes.

Gradually add the milk with yeast to the flour mixture while mixing.

Knead the dough for several minutes, then add the remaining butter and continue kneading until incorporated.

Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, cut a quarter of the dough and set it aside.

Form approximately 10 balls from the remaining dough, each weighing about 70-80 grams.

Flatten each ball slightly and cover them for about 30 minutes.

For the topping, mix the reserved dough with 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Break the reserved dough into 10 pieces, stretch them lengthwise, and make diagonal cuts for the crown shape.

Brush the formed bread with egg white (or yolk) to help the topping stick.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as desired.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
