Servings 1 Poolish dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour bread flour
- 1 cup Room Temperature Water
- ΒΌ tsp Fresh Yeast or 1/16 tsp dry yeast
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add 1/4 teaspoon of yeast to the water. Stir and let it sit for 2 minutes to activate it. If you are using dry yeast consider using only 1/16th of the yeast.
- Add the all-purpose flour (if you don't have, use bread flour) to the yeast mixture and using a spatula, mix for 2-3 minutes until the dough becomes smooth. Keep mixing the dough until all the flour lumps are gone.
- Cover your poolish dough with cling film to prevent it from drying out and let it rise at room temperature for 8 hours. If you are planning to use the dough after 12 hours, leave it at room temperature until it starts to bubble (30 minutes to 1 hour) and then refrigerate.
