            When we were in North Carolina last week, @ROman offered me some out-of-date yeast.  Never the one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I have bought it home.

            I thought the best way to see if it is still any good/active, was to run a controlled bake against my super-duper German yeast.

            I have just started the Poolish (Pooli ?)…..

              So, the Poolish is doing what Poolish does.  It seems that the @ROman out-of-date yeast is not as vigorous as ze German - at least, at this stage….

                      I love waking up to a Poolish or a Biga too…..

                      So after a late surge in the fridge overnight, the American has done pretty well....

                            Both looking lovely though. Be interesting to see the any eventual difference in the crumb.

                                            Made three batches of poolish yesterday evening and used two of them for four boules today. The last one I used for some focaccia recipes a la Forkish…
