Divide dough into 10 portions, roll into balls, cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Flatten slightly, roll each into a round disk, place some fillings in the centre, seal up the buns, lay on baking pan with parchment paper.

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with some sesame seeds, cover and let it take the last rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
