These are simple to make and very tasty. They disappeared quickly at a Christmas party! I skipped the egg white step, which I think would have been rather tedious and would have added a lot to the preparation time. The sesame seeds adhere to the dough just fine without it. I imagine the egg white would add an appetizing shiny glaze to the finished rolls. Perhaps one could deviate and roll the entire rolls in egg white and sesame seeds, and then cut them into slices. That would save a lot of time. I may try this approach next time, although I believe the egg whites would make the preparation messier and may not be worth it! Next time, even if I don't use the egg whites, I'll try rolling the entire rolls in the sesame seeds before slicing.
