8- Bring back the edges of the dough into the center on top of the mozzarella cheese and shape into buns.

9- Place the stuffed buns near to each other on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

10- Mix the egg yolks and milk in a small bowl, brush the surface of the stuffed buns, and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

11- Cover the buns with parchment paper and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

12- Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 25 minutes until golden brown.

13- Remove the fluffy breads from the oven and cover with a clean towl for 10 minutes to make them tender. Serve warm.
