Recipes FAQ

What is a poolish?

A poolish is a pre-ferment that is made with equal parts flour and water and a small amount of yeast. It is used to add flavor and texture to bread.

Can I use all whole wheat flour?

Using all whole wheat flour will result in a denser and heavier loaf of bread. It is recommended to use a combination of whole wheat and bread flour for best results.

What is the best way to store homemade bread?

Homemade bread can be stored in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot. Water that is too hot can kill the yeast.
  • If using a Dutch oven, make sure it is oven-safe up to 450°F (230°C).
  • To get a crispy crust, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while the bread is baking.
  • Experiment with different types of flour and add-ins (such as herbs or cheese) to customize the bread to your liking.

Enjoy your delicious poolish whole wheat bread!
