I’ve made the “affordable loaf” twice now using a starter, but I’d love to have an “all yeast” recipe too.

I am not experienced with commercial yeast, but a poolish sounds super promising. The thought is it would provide loads of complex flavor. Maybe also a natural dough conditioner?

If others don’t reply with help and you need assistance, let me know. I'm thinking a poolish similar to those used with Ciabatta.
