For the bread:

• Combine all the ingredients in a stand mixer with a dough hook. Mix on medium until the dough comes together into a slack ball. If the dough seems to dry, add a little water a tbsp at a time. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth and passes a windowpane test. 6-10 minutes. Transfer to a greased bowl or dough bucket and cover and let rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled.
• Heat the oven to 375. Mix the filling ingredients together other than the sesame oil and season with some salt and pepper. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll each into a rope about 12 inches long. Gently flatten each roll and brush one side with sesame oil, making sure to leave one side without so it will roll up and stick.
• Put some filling along the sesame oil you brushed on and roll up the dough like a jelly roll, sealing it closed with your fingers.
• Once you have done all 3 rolls, braid them together, making sure the ends are connected by pushing the dough together and folding it under. Place the braid on a parchment lined back of a baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and internal temp is 200. Allow to cool slightly then slice. It is really good warm.
