So, I made my best bread yet but I'm not sure what part of the process made it so good. I'll start with the recipe and explain the process because below it's puzzling me. Poolish one Poolish two Rest Why two poolishes? Because I overestimated the time it would take the first one and it had started shrinking by the time I had another look at it. A poolish is supposed to take up to 24h as far as I know, but it looks like it exhausted its energy through the night. So I pushed my schedule by 4 hours and took the time to make another poolish with the bread flour. Then I used my regular process. Mixing it all. Leaving it 5 minutes to absorb all the water. Kneading 7-8 minutes. Waited 45 minutes before starting the folds (3 sets, spaced by 30 minutes) where I noticed the dough was more elastic than I was used to. Waited 2 hours covered at room temperature (22°C 72F) then another hour in the fridge. After shaping it's taken about 45 minutes for the dough to be ready (judging by the spring back test, the amount of bubbles and how much it had grown). I scored with a knife that I had sharpened a few days before, so the scores were super nice. This is my best bread yet, it's still crispy two days later, it looks amazing, but I'm not sure why :D What's different from my usual process:
