Rcent Bake

I am very pleased with my oven spring and grigne and all that business, so here's a new blog post! This is a trifle underproofed, but I rather like the dramatic look of the thing.

 Poolish:

1. 1/2 cup medium rye flour
2. 1/2 cup bread flour
3. pinch of yeast

Let sit out overnight (8-12 hours, more if it's cooler, less if it's warmer)

Dough:

1. 1 and 1/8 cup warm water, added to poolish
2. Sufficient bread flour to make a moist dough, around 66% hydration

Mix until it comes together well, let rest half an hour (autolyze), then add:

1. 2 1/4 tsp salt

and knead until windowpanes or whatever your prefered test is.

Bake at 450F for 40 minutes, with steam at the beginning.
