I baked dinner rolls yesterday, made a wash of egg and water and sprinkled
sesame seeds on top. The seeds were tough and tasteless. Should I have
toasted them first? I thought they would toast during the baking, but it
didn't turn out that way.

My first thought is that you used old, stale seeds.

Could they have been stale?

It's possible, but they were just purchased yesterday. They were Tone's
brand in the little round container like you buy spices in.
Would toasting them in a skillet first, help?

They were prolly stale. Tone's brand is crap.

Go to a bakery and ask to buy a small quantitiy of seeds. I buy 50
pound bags and would happily swap a dollar to fill your little jar. For
a smile I'd just give them to you, and smile back. I lose more on the
floor or on stales than most people use in a year at home.

A few months ago I gave a guy a baggy full of carraway seeds. He was
elated. He prolly sniffed out half the flavor before he made it out the
door.

Probably.
