In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.
Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Brush the tops with a little water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

These buns can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
