In a small microwave-safe liquid-measuring cup, heat lager on high in 10- to 15-second intervals until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm lager, melted butter, and honey to flour mixture; beat at medium speed until combined. Add egg; beat until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 2 cups (250g) flour, beating just until combined and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, 8 to 10 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl and dough hook; add up to remaining ¼ cup (31g) flour, 1 tablespoon (8g) at a time, if dough is too sticky. (Dough should pass the window pane test [see note 3] but may still stick slightly to sides and bottom of bowl.) Turn out dough onto a very lightly floured surface, and shape into a smooth round.Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 40 to 50 minutes.Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.Punch down dough; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and divide into 12 portions (about 72g each). Divide each portion into 3 pieces (about 24g each). Roll each piece into a smooth ball, pinching closed any seams. Place 3 doughballs, seam side down, in each prepared muffin cup. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed and dough holds an indentation when poked, 20 to 30 minutes.Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Make egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon (15g) water and 1 egg (50g). Brush rolls with egg wash.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 8 to 10 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Gently brush tops of rolls with melted butter; garnish with caraway seeds and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Notes Salt weight and volume vary by brand. Diamond Crystal kosher salt was used in this recipe (1 tablespoon is 9 grams). If you a have different brand or type of salt, use the weight listed in the recipe, not the volume measurement. If you do not have a scale, check your brand’s website for what the equivalent volume measurement is for the weight listed in this recipe. After pouring beer into a liquid-measuring cup, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before using. This will allow the foam and carbonation to dissipate. To use the windowpane test to check dough for proper gluten development, lightly flour hands and pinch off (don’t tear) a small piece of dough. Slowly pull the dough out from the center. If the dough is ready, you will be able to stretch it until it’s thin and translucent like a windowpane. If the dough tears, it’s not quite ready. Knead for 1 minute, and test again.
