Sesame Bread (slow-fermented)

 
Today's bread is a gentle-flavor sesame bread.

As we use a small amount of yeast, so the dough will rise slowly. Slow-fermented bread has a lovely sweetness and there will be no smell of the yeast too.
For roasted and coarsely ground sesame, you can make it by yourself or buy it from a supermarket. 

I just changed my Mac, and am still confused with some of the programs (well, I have to let my 8 years old mac mini go after it always stopped working in the evening, haha). Now, there is a load of things to learn and to tell you the truth, it's not easy ^^". Anyway, I hope that I will get used to it soon.

Now, let me talk about my bread.

You can see from the recipe that for this recipe there is only 0.4% of yeast to the weight of the flour (commonly, we will use 1.5%), with the little amount of yeast this dough needs more time to rise. You can let it rise at room temperature for 2.3 hours or you can let it rise longer in the fridge too. Anyway, if your fridge is very cold, you can let the dough rise at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating it.
The next day you can remove it from the fridge and follow the next steps, I think this method is good for people who don't have so much time ^^.
