  1. What's the reason behind adding yeast into the main mix, given that it was already added at the poolish stage?

  2. If anyone wants to follow up on the poolish + pouliche and speaks spanish, don't miss out on Borges' conference on The nightMare + la Yegua de la noche, based on the painting from Füssli

  3. Recipe according to Gemini:
    The Ingredients
    While the video focuses on the technique, the standard metric ratios for this Bertinet recipe are:

    The Poolish: 125g Strong bread flour, 125g Water, 5g Fresh yeast (or 1 tsp dry).

    The Final Dough: All the Poolish, 750g Strong white flour, 50g Wholemeal flour, 500g Cool water, 15g Salt, and an additional 5g Fresh yeast.

  4. Czy to takie trudne przyznać, że Poolish, to zaczyn od polski piekarzy? Zaczyn który przywędrował z polskimi piekarzami do zachodniej Europy i nim. do USA. Jest chyba najpopularniejszym zaczyn do ciasta na chleb, czy pizzę.

  5. Richard makes it look so easy and effortless. Take it from me, it's bloody difficult! But worth it.

  6. Tout cela est très beau, mais si on n'a pas les quantités, cela ne sert à rien. Juste du divertissement.😢
