Method

Poolish: Mix all the ingredients together. Cover and leave at room temperature until ripe. Adjust yeast percentage accordingly.

Final Dough: Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl, and mix on first speed for 3 minutes to incorporate the ingredients.

Adjust the hydration as necessary. Mix on second speed for an additional 3 minutes, to moderate gluten development.

Desired Dough Temperature: 75°F.

Bulk Fermentation: 2 hours, with a fold after 1 hour.

Divide the dough into desired weights. Pre-shape, and when sufficiently relaxed, give a final shaping.

Final Proof: about 1 hour.

Bake: steam the oven, load the bread, and steam again.

Oven Temperature: 460°F. Bake time is dependent upon dough weight and shape.
