Recipe - Whole Wheat Sesame Sandwich Bread

70% Whole Wheat Sesame Sandwich Bread    
Can be switched to 100% WW, but Yippee finds 100% WW too bitter    
       
Adapted From 'The 65 C Bread Doctor",  by Yvonne Chen    
       
       
Water Roux Starter      
       
any amount is fine as long as bread flour (or whole wheat flour to make 100% WW) 50 g
the 1:5 ratio is followed water  250 g
       
  Whisk both until well mixed    
  Heat it up on stove, keep stirring     
  until temperature reaches 65 C or 149 F    
  (Yippee uses the microwave, about 4 minutes, stir halfway.)     
  (Final product should leave a trail when stirred.)    
  Put a plastic wrap directly on top to prevent forming a 'skin'.    
  Must be cooled to at least room temperature before use.    
  Refrigerate up to 3 days.      
  Do not use if turns grey.
