Today, we’re going to continue with our discussion on preferment. Since we’ve already made our case for preferment, it’s only fitting that we shift our attention to: how to use it and when to use it to make fantastic bread, which is what this video is for. We'll talk about how much instant yeast to use, how long to ferment the preferment for, and more. Given the sheer amount of information we're going to cover, we're going to focus on one kind of yeasted preferment, poolish, along with sourdough preferments. Watch the video for more!
