Bakery-Style Mini Pies

Combine warm milk, water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Add the vegetable oil, melted butter, egg white, and salt.

Gradually add the flour and knead into a soft dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour.

Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of the risen dough, flatten them in your hands, and press a small indentation in the center using your pinky finger.

Add the quark filling and pinch the edges to seal.

Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
