Process

1

Poolish Preparation

Combine the flour and yeast water. Cover and allow to ferment overnight.

2

Initial Mixing

Combine the flour, poolish, and most of the yeast water in a mixer or bowl, reserving a small amount of the yeast water for the next step. Mix the ingredients together, then let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

3

Final Dough Development

Add the salt and gradually mix in the reserved yeast water until the salt is completely dissolved. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

4

Stretch and Folds

Perform one set of stretch and folds to build strength. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

5

First Lamination

Perform a lamination by stretching the dough out thinly and folding it back up. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

6

Coil Folds

Perform one set of coil folds. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

7

Second Lamination

Perform a second lamination step to continue building dough structure. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

8

Bulk Fermentation

Allow the dough to bulk ferment for 3 to 4 hours, or until it has nearly doubled in volume.

9

Preshaping

Turn the dough out and form it into a round ball. Let it rest uncovered on the bench for 20 to 30 minutes.

10

Final Shaping and Cold Proofing

Perform the final shaping. Place the shaped dough into a floured banneton, cover, and cold proof in the refrigerator overnight.
