          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

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

                    Nice bake Reuben, very nice. I love doing focaccia with poolish and biga.

                        Thanks gents. I was fully prepared for the spratt to be excellent and it was. Can’t go wrong with chilli flakes and oily fish. But the courgette one was really great too. Very light, and tasty and a good contrast to the spicier, heavier one.

                            @Alex I use this recipe weekly for rye bread:
                            Day 1 - mix:
                            2 tablespoons of sourdough
                            1,5 tablespoon salt
                            750 g water
                            200 g stout (or whatever beer)
                            300 g wheat-flour (spelt or regular)
                            150 g rye-flour
                            120 g rye-kernels
                            30 g lin-seeds

                            Leave it "raising" for 12 - 24 hrs with a lid on (it wont raise but after 12 hours start to bubble)

                            Day 2 - pour into the bowl:
                            250 g water
                            225 g rye-flour
                            50 g cia-seeds, sunflower-seeds or whatever seeds you like
                            300 g rye-kernels

                            Mix it for 15 min
                            Use two tablespoons of dough for refreshing your sourdough
                            Pour the rest of the dough into a bakingform (one big ryebread-form or two small ones)
                            Leave it raising for 4 - 6 hrs with a lid on (this time it will raise half an inch to an inch)
                            Bake it for 3 hrs at 150 degrees (put the forms at lowest level in the oven)
                            Get the bread out of the form - and let it cool off before slicing

                            Thats it

                                Been doing three poolish mixes at a time again. One for pizza/focaccia, one for boules and the last one for bread tins. The tins are used because my smallest boys are fussy in the way that small boys can be. They “believe” they don’t like my bread, when in actual fact they are put off by the boule shape. If I bake it in a tin so it looks like shop bought they love it. Go figure.

                                    Whereas when I was a kid, I loved shepherds pie but would “never” eat mashed potatoes [emoji38]
