Poolish

Poolish preferment.

Ingredients

  • 100 g water
  • 100 g flour
  • 1 g yeast

Notes

Poolish is one of the three preferments I’m familiar with (the others are the biga and sponge). Still experimenting, and slightly skeptical of the effect.

Instructions

  • Mix up everything in a bowl
  • Leave it out to sit for 4-8 hours, you’ll know its ready because it will have full puffed up and smell really fragrant.
  • Toss it in with the rest of your ingredients. See the poolish dough for an example.
