Hey all,

Quick question. I'm going to try to make poolish for the first time and I found the majority of recipes use honey to accelerate the fermentation process. Normally I would swap that for maple syrup. Anyone know of that would work here too?

Just use regular sugar.

In fact, I don’t use any sugar, in any of my breads. Sometimes I use lemon juice to feed the yeast a bit.

For poolish I just use instant yeast, water, white flour (whole flour works but experiment with proportions and time). Wet. 20m-1hr then add the rest.
