  4. DIP your hand in cold water and gather a golf ball size portion. Gently roll into a soft ball and shape into small sausage logs. Continue with the rest of the batter, making 15-16 sausage logs.
  5. PLACE on the lined baking tray and press sesame seeds on top.
  6. BAKE in the middle shelf of the oven for 20 minutes. Flip half way through baking.
  7. LET rest for 5 minutes.
