  I'm a little confused about the "poolish"? What is this and isn't this a lot of yeast?

  I've always used a 7g sachet of dried yeast to replace a 20g cube of fresh yeast... but dried yeast is notoriously difficult to measure - the main reason I bought myself digital scales this year... just for yeast, haha! So, I used 2g less and recipe was fab. (also found that 90min was sufficient proving time). Thanks Gordon.

  I have just made this recipe, and found it fantastic! I've made 100 mini balls with it. They are getting dipped in white choc and made into eye balls with a smartie for a pupil for tomorrow's Halloween party, ty :)

What is this and isn't this a lot of yeast" Poolish: A pre-ferment and a longer fermentation in the bread-making process have several benefits: there is more time for yeast, enzyme and, if sourdough, bacterial actions on the starch and proteins in the dough; this in turn improves the keeping time of the baked bread, and it creates greater complexities of flavor. Though pre-ferments have declined in popularity as direct additions of yeast in bread recipes have streamlined the process on a commercial level, pre-ferments of various forms are widely used in artisanal bread recipes and formulas.
