Sift the flour and salt in a large bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast. Add the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the centre. Add the milk and egg and knead well to get a smooth and elastic dough.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knock down (punch down) and knead for 2-3 minutes.
Divide the dough into 11-12 equal pieces and shape into knots or braids. Place the rolls on baking sheets spacing them well apart.
Cover the rolls with lightly oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 220C. Brush the rolls with milk and sprinkle the sesame/ poppy seeds.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
