Preferment Basics: Poolish | Bread Science with Seraphine Lishe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Poolish is something I frequently make and use in my bread recipes. It's easy to make, and can do a lot for even the simplest of bread loaves.
This video is all about the basics of Poolish. What it is, why to use it, and how to use it. The video starts all the way from some preferment basics, introducing the names of some types(biga, sponge, pâte fermentée), to how I normally like to use and make Poolish.
As a note, I typically use fruit yeast water to make my Poolish and this video is mainly focused on that during the making process.
However, the benefits of Poolish explained still extend to those using instant yeast as well, so stay tuned for that if you're not using fruit yeast water!
Enjoy!

Okay everybody this might sound crazy but I actually use polish like sourdough starter. I start my polish and keep it in the cabinet, I discard and feed daily, sometimes I skip a day, It’s delicious and so easy to use, it’s like an immediately ready to use sourdough starter, ready to use in 18hrs
I was looking for this exact explanation! Thank you so much! I’m getting into Neapolitan pizza making and the precise look of a well-rested poolish was what I was after.
Your pace and straightforward delivery makes this really easy to follow. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Superlative demonstration! I have been baking my own bread for 40 years, sourdough for the last 3 years, but am new to fruit yeast baking. I got off to a slow start, since the information on fruit yeast baking still seems overall to be in the toddler stage-- your presentations and recipes have made all the difference in the quality of my fruit yeast bread baking. Thank you so much!

Your explaination clears me up everything I wonder. Thanks a lot!
This lady really knows how to explain. Thank you so much.
I just made my first sandwich loaf using a poolish. It's very good, but I had trouble adding water to the remaining flour. You did a video on the tangzhong method, and examined what's a good percentage of dough flour to use. What would you say is the optimal amount of flour to use for a poolish? I went with 40%, but it seemed to make the bread too "airy." Reading, it seems like 30% is better? I love how detail-oriented your videos are, and I always learn a huge amount. Thank you!

I use bread flour
I may have to watch this a few more times. One question, with the other poolish videos I have watched, done from dry packaged yeast, some will add more yeast when they combine the poolish to the flour and salt, but you don't. So, I am wondering if your fruit yeast water is super charged, or maybe you use a higher % of poolish to the bread mix. I have another few bread batches to do before I try your fruit yeast water.... I have yet to get the open crumb that all the other videos show. One thing I did find out from chatting with the baker where I buy my flour is that their flour is whole grain, and the bran absorbs more water than refined flours. So, if I do 100 g of flour, I have to use 110 to 115 g of water.
@NovitaListyani

To simplify the steps, we use only poolish without any additional fruit yeast water. Fruit yeast water is much weaker than dry yeast. If you watch our second video on fruit yeast water, you get the required conversion, 100 ml water + 1/4 tsp of dry yeast equal 100 ml of fruit yeast water. Fruit yeast water is also more unpredictable, hence the poolish as a way to gauge the strength. To adjust, we lengthen the bulk fermentation and proofing time.

I have made poolish with Kombucha as a yeast base. It never rises above about 50%. Most likely because it is very sour and the acid cuts back on yeast production. So, I have been keeping a starter of it in the fridge and using about half of it and then equal parts of water and flour and a tiny bit of yeast. It then will double in size. Love the flavor it gives the breads. Always some thing new to try.... Still have to try your fruit yeast water... Maybe this summer...

You need to make sure there's at least reasonable amount of yeast in the dried fruit that you want to use. Many have succeeded with dried date, also raisins. You can of course use any flour, but most of the recipes in this channel use bread flour, so you may need to adjust for the fermentation time for the einkorn flour. Most likely it will be shorter, I guess.

Hmm, this would depend a lot on the recipe, as well as type of yeast, and how long you would want to wait for the dough. If you're talking about instant yeast, then a very easy way to use poolish would be to just take all the yeast from the recipe and add it to the poolish. This may not build a lot of flavor though, so you could also cut down on the amount of yeast to prolong overall fermentation time. You could also do a sort of "hybrid" approach where you add a small amount of yeast to the poolish and a small amount to the final dough. In the end, it's very difficult to give advice without knowing what kind of recipe and bread you're aiming for.

Storing fruit yeast water in the fridge, will in the end get you only yeast, very active yeast, for us, usually we do it for the purpose of speeding up new batch of processing. As for how to keep it, usually we store it in a bottle with plastic cap that will pop if the pressure is too high, make sure also to only fill the bottle half full, and once or twice a week drop in a tsp of sugar.

There are many possibilities. One could be the yeast water is not ready, the other one could be the poolish has been over fermented. If it's over fermented, I usually add about 50% of flour and wait for it to rise again, as long as it's not way too over fermented it usually works. If the yeast water is not ready, there's simply no yeast, not much that you can do about it.

Is poolish the same as a starter? Also, you said if it grows to twice the size, for instance, and has a doom, that means it's under fermented and not ready. If we take a scope at this stage and put it in the water, would it float? Mine does. I always thought when it gets to the very top, that's when we use it in the sourdough's main dough! Now when it starts concaving! Everybody gives a conflicting information with these videos.
So you say that using instant yeast requires different amount depending on preferment time but you never say what is the calculation? How to figure out how much?

Usually we use 1/4 tsp for 100 ml of water, depending on the temperature, it will mature within 8-12 hours for the temperature around 27-31 °C, you use less yeast if you want to develop more flavor by letting the poolish ferment longer. You can start with 1/4 tsp for 100 ml as a general guideline, and then proceed to observe the time it takes for the poolish to mature under the current room temperature of your counter, then test the taste it produces on the baked bread, if you don't get the exact flavor that you want, you adjust the amount of the yeast accordingly, lower the yeast amount for longer fermentation time, hence a stronger flavor, raise the yeast amount for shorter fermentation time. The adjustment should be done in a very tiny amount, so you may need a precision scale.

Will try to do that when I get a hold of good whole wheat, if whole wheat is what you meant.

@@NovitaListyani I personally have found that 1/3 - 1/2 whole wheat flour gives the best texture. You do have to add a bit more liquid to get a supple dough, since the whole wheat flour can absorb an surprising amount of moisture.
Does the container have to be air tight?

I don't think you can use Kombucha as a leavening agent

Hi thanks for sharing ! But can I make it with gluten free flour, like rice flour, cassava flour, or buckweath flour?

Yes you can do that but you may need to add thickening agents like xanthan, pectin, etc. I haven't done that many experiments on the topic yet, so at the moment I don't have much information to share.
