 spoon, beat in yeast mixture and enough of the remaining water to
 make sticky dough.  In bowl, work with hands for 30 seconds.
 Transfer dough to prepared pan.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Cover
 with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes
 or just until dough reaches top of pan.  Bake in 400 degrees F.
 oven for 50 - 60 minutes or until browned and loaf sounds hollow
 when tapped on the bottom.  Remove from pan and peel off paper.
