• Bring the ends together to form a ring, and pinch them together. Transfer to prepared sheet.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough.
• Cover the rings with plastic wrap and leave to rise until tripled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
• Put an oven rack in the upper third position, and preheat to 400°F.
• Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, and glaze the rings. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
• Slash the rings in a sunburst pattern, about 1/2 inch deep and about 2 inches apart to mark off serving sections.
• Bake 25-35 minutes, or until very brown. Rotate the pan about 20 minutes into baking.
• Cool rings on a rack.
