Directions
1 Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt to warm (105°-115°F).

7 Place 1 dyed uncooked egg in center and the other 4 dyed eggs around the edge as tips of a cross.
8 Divide remaining dough into 10 parts. Roll into 5-inch strips. Arrange 2 strips in a cross shape over each egg. Press ends down to keep eggs in place.
9 Cover; let rise in warm place until double€”about 45€”60 minutes. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
