White & Wholewheat Poolish Loaf

White & Wholewheat
Poolish Loaf

This guideline sets out all the ingredients weights & percentages necessary to create a White & Wholewheat loaf with Poolish

 

Overview

This loaf uses a mixer of both White and Wholewheat for the Poolish as well as the main Recipe.
​
The revised dough weight has been increased to suit the space available in the selected bakeware.
​
As the increase has caused a minor imbalance with the flour to +/- a round figure. They can be adjusted on the day if desired, however, this adjustment is minimal given the TDW. Additionally, if water is held back from the final mix to achieve the correct consistency, then it is inconsequential to the bake.
