Sounds glorious.

I did started Forkish’s overnight pizza dough last night. Wonderful to wake up to.

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…

One of the boules…

Prepped focaccia

Olives, spratt, caramilized onions and chili

Courgettes in oil and lemon

[goosehd]

That looks tasty.

Thanks mate. It came up good. There’s a huge difference in taste between this and his other pizza/focaccia doughs.
