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. | |||
