Putting parchment. paper in your Dutch oven will prevent any bread from sticking. Also, scoring the bread prior to baking serves a purpose. The bread needs to expand when baking. The bottom of your bread should be put on the bottom of the dutch oven. The smooth top should be scored, allowing the bread an easy rise. Remember the parchment paper! To allow the parchment to lie flat in the dutch oven, wad up the paper into a ball then open it up and put it into the dutch oven then placing your dough on it. Making videos is not easy. Your content is spot on, nothing is left out yet you're to the point, yet concise. No frills video. LOVE IT! Love this video. I'm hooked!
So......I have been making this according to your instructions and even with the "not so great" outcomes, my husband loves this It really turned out better once I ordered a Dutch oven. I let it ferment for two days and still turned out great. I even was able to purchase some proofing baskets. My husband says thank you ! ! Thank you for being a great teacher. Blessing for the holidays.
Awesome video. I have been making sourdough now since Jan and just loving it. I was so inspired i ordered that book tonight. I so love how some of the simple things in life makes us so happy.....listening to jars ping as they seal, bread crackling as it comes out of the oven and staring and admiring our canning.
Thank you for this easy to understand video on the poolish method. I am reading Kens book also. Your video helped me visualize what I was reading in the book and makes it so simple to understand! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH👍🏼
Thank you for this video. I love your videos and appreciate that you explain everything in detail. You don't fill your videos with useless babble. I will try this, mostly because I'm not interested in having a starter in my refrigerator, that I have to babysit and feed weekly. You make the poolish the day before, then you use the whole thing the next day. That said, although my husband can probably eat both loaves, I wonder how the boulle would freeze and defrost. Have you tried that? Your videos should go viral and I don't understand why they haven't. Just know that I do appreciate your experiments, recipes and instructional videos and I will backtrack and watch ones I've missed, as well as when I get notified of new ones. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I freeze these boulles all the time--I like to have a supply on hand--and they defrost just fine. We are so glad our videos are useful and appreciated by you--that makes our efforts worth while.
What am I doing wrong?? I have tried this twice and neither time did enough gluten form to give my dough structure. The poolish looks right but when I knead it with the second 500 grams of flour, yeast, salt and water, it remains sticky. It doubles in size but remains too loose to form into structured boules. 😢
I love that crackle!❤️. Oh and that crumb! Just gorgeous! You remind me so much of my sweet mama. She had beautiful red hair like yours and was a beautiful lady like you. Thank you for sharing and God bless you richly!❤️
Hello. Today I baked bread according to your recipe on the dough pushish. Thank you for your work, everything is so accessible and professional. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏😘🇺🇦
@@RoseRedHomestead Your welcome. I´ll be making this bread this weekend. I also got the book by Ken Forkish that you recommended. Thank you again. It´s a pleasure to watch your channel.
I have tried to bake a good bread for the longest time.The mistake I always made was “just ROUGHLY measuring the ingredients..For the first time in my life I followed a recipe(yours) to the TEE. I followed your excellent method absolutely...Guess What?? Two loaves of PERFECT BREAD... Thank you very much for your friendly and perfect directions. It was so good, I was proud to give a loaf to A friend............RJM, Flushing, Mich...
Nice and very basic, easy to follow. I also like to score the loaves with a sharp knife or bread lame on the top, mainly for aesthetic purposes. Gives the loaves a lovely, artisanal look.
Great video, I like to put the loafs bottom side up and score the top. It will gave you a beautiful basket pattern on the bread along with the pretty score marks.
You are my go-to person for how-to videos. So very easy to follow you with your excellent and detailed instructions. Sometimes I binge watch your videos for a couple hours….. until I realize that it’s better if I actually make the items you are instructing us to do! Ha! My husband and I love to try new things. I try the recipes. He eats the food. 😋 He eats a lot. I eat a little. Guess who gains the pounds😆 I just ordered the dough buckets and one proofing basket. I already have one Dutch oven. I can’t afford duplicates but I did read the comments. Sounds like I can still do both loaves. Just have to wait till first one is done and reheat DO a bit and then bake the second one. Merry Christmas to all🎄
Mary: Thank you for giving Pam the "go-to-person" award. I agree, it is nice to be able to read/watch, but you need to (in reality), get your hands in the dough to see if the recipes really work. If yes, great and not, what do you do to make them work? It sounds you have figured out what to do to make it work and produce the breads you want. Touche! You and your husband have a Great Christmas! Jim
I’ve been making sourdough and yeast straight dough breads for years and tried a dough made with a poolish yesterday. I made baguettes and they were the best, even better than sourdough baguettes.
Well, you’ve taught me a long wanted goal of mine; to make a wonderful healthy artisan bread. Thank you! I made the investment and purchased the book, buckets, baskets, mits, and Dutch oven and so glad I did. I settled on the whole grain recipe in the book using wheat germ and wheat bran. This is one off my bucket list. Thanks again for taking the time to post this video. Hugs. I’m hooked on using a poolish.
I love your factual, scientific approach to all you present. You are a practical teacher of information - real world. Thank you for sharing such a wide variety of preparation videos.
Those are absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to try this…made one recently with poolish but was a rye bread …love the quick pre mix the night before…thank you for your time and video…stay blessed
I really enjoyed watching you make Poolish bread. Pam make everything look so easy. Also I would like you and your sister Cindy helped me to get my menus and and food storage started. Thank you so much.
It is our favorite! I bake 4 loaves per week--freeze some and give some away. We love the texture of the crumb. The crust is wonderful and crunchy when it is right out of the oven, but once a bag it in plastic bags, it softens, as you would expect.
Hi there rose thanks for the knowledge! Quick tip that might help combat that sticky dough. Take a bit of olive oil on your hands and. Rub it into your hands (like a hand wash motion) and the dough won't know what hit it lol 😂 it really helps keep the dough from sticking from your fingers so much 😁
May this comment find you and your family well. I am also reading Ken’s book, and so when I came across the word “poolish", I had to look it up. I redirected to YT in hopes of finding a video on the topic... and low and behold here was yours🌺 I am so grateful, thank you so much. You explained it so thoroughly. Instructions, so easy to follow. I’m excited to try this method real soon. ❤️Best from a new Boston subscriber
Thank you, and I am so glad you found us! Ken's book has completely changed the way I bake bread and I hope you find success with it as well. Thanks for watching.
Interesting, I have a bread machine that does a good job. I can not do kneading I have bad hands.Learned soooo much about yeast will be using my scale for measuring. What a good idea. Thank you!
Love this video. I couldnt catch the name of the gentleman you got the recipe frm and wasn wondering if you could put either his name or a link. It would be appreciated 😊O yeah, and where to get that fabulous bucket, i love it
Excellent production and preparation of bread. You were a fine motivator for me to do this recipe. I may add some different flours in final prep step for additional flavors,so thank you for putting this together!
You are very welcome. I have used different flours with varying results. Some flours absorb either more or less water, so the texture can vary. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love 'poolish' dough bread. I now use the method for my pizza dough. Would you consider making a video on using diastatic malt powder in bread . . . in the future.
Well done Ms. Rose! i appreciate your detailed descriptions and visual examples. i recently got my copy of ken's book and have been viewing/reviewing your vids (and his) on 'how to' before i try. my ovens should be here in a couple days; hopefully my efforts will look as good as yours....beautiful examples.
the poolish technique is fab. it has opened up so many more possibilities in flavor and texture. is it possible to transfer to the fridge for an overnight proof instead of baking on the same day? thanks so much. this was brilliant.
I love you and your videos. I would like to suggest a few tools that make the process easier. A Danish dough mixer, a rubber spatula to clean your tubs easier and a plastic dough scraper. Take care and tell Jim hello too :) ps parchment line the pans. I love the Song of bread singing after a bake. It is a sure sound it has been made perfectly
Thanks very much for this informative video. I've just done 3 months of experiments perfecting my pizza dough using 00 Flour for pizza. I used the Poolish method and a 70% hydration ratio as I find this is good for oven pizzas. I'm now using Bread Flour (Robin Hood) and have done loaves using poolish at 70% and will use 75% hydration as in your instructions for the DO. I did use 2 loaf pans 5 x 9 with metal clips to make an enclosed type of DO that worked out well after I took the top off for the final 10 mins of a 40 min bake. Now, I'm going to use my Dutch Oven for the first time. It's orange coloured so it's not the campfire style. I will be following your instructions, however, due to my experiments with the pizza dough, I will be adding a certain % of honey and olive oil. My question is: Would a parchment paper cut in a circle the size of the bottom of the DO help out the non-stick situation? Thanks from Ontario Canada.
Interesting... when I make my poolish I don't add additional yeast and the final result is fantastic. I just allow the dough the rise longer. So the polish rises about 12-20 hours and then I add my additional flour mix without additional water and then allow it to sit for 8 hours out the fridge and 4 hours I the fridge. I shape a few times for a good surface tension slash and bake.
Thanks for sharing that. I haven't used a poolish before but I thought this is what this recipe was going to do at first. RoseRed Homestead's version is a quicker version - kind of a mix between a yeasted bread and a sourdough. She was ready to bake in a couple hours after adding her poolish to the rest of her ingredients. I think both ways are good to know depending on your schedule. For me, I think I'd probably use the poolish as you do, so I don't have to use so much conventional yeast.
thanks for sharing the video! two questions. The first relates to how you placed your loaves into the proofing basket. I thought that the smooth side goes down... since it ultimately is the top of the loaf. The second is that many people seem to use a razor blade to cut the top, before going into the oven. Otherwise, the break in the crust will be uncontrolled.
You describe the most common way of placing and scoring loaves. However, the book I follow is authored by a well-respected professional baker of artisan bread. Placing the smooth side down allows the up side to break randomly, which I absolutely love--it is beautiful. If I did want to control the pattern, then I would do it your way. Thanks for watching.
RoseRed Homestead thank you it was my very first successful artisan looking bread! It had ciabatta like holes and smelled lovely! I had to play around with the weight and use a Pyrex dish so there’s some room for improvement which I’m excited for 👍👍 will also be sourcing a better scale and a thermometer after the lockdown. Thank you again for this lovely recipe and meticulous teaching
I've had such a hard time with maintaining my starter. I'm just about ready to give up. Don't know how I could have missed the polish method for as long as I've been trying. I'm going to try it today. Thanks so much for your excellent tutorial!!!
Pam: Pullman style pans are supposed to provide the same steam conditions for oven spring that the closed cast iron dutch ovens do? What do you think? I know that you start with the lids closed on pullman pans and remove about half way through the baking process, they are also supposed to make the crumb finer. I am sure other followers would like to know the answer as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I LOVE that book! Hope you are enjoying it as well. I wipe my Dutch ovens out with Crisco every time after I take the bread out so they are ready for the next time. It works great when they are still hot from the oven.
I wish I could but it is so old that the brand name has worn off. There are many good ones out there and one of these days I will need to replace mine as well.
I'm loving this and the Biga. Have you ever made Salt Risen bread? My great grandma used to make it with a potatoe and capture the wild yeast. I wish I had her recipe.
Very cool ! Never heard of poolish, until today? Ty! Can anyone tell me, Is it a milder flavor than sourdough? I swear I used too love sourdough, but last time I bought it, I did not? Was a very strong "sour" flavor..So much so, I coudn't even eat it. :( Ty again for everything! Both of you!
Hi !!! I have found you on YT ! and loving your videos. I have a question , where do you get them large tubs you are using for the bread ?? I live in Canada but no idea where to get me some . Please help guide me to where I can order some . A great big thank you in advance.
Great you speck so nice & clear to understand, just one thing I would like to ask is if I have no time to cook so when finishing the proving after poolish & stood for 2 hours can I devide into 2 loafs & then freeze 1 keep the other for next day in fridge. Thank you stay safe Ann
I’m so happy I found your channel. Your knowledge, time are so much appreciated. Everything is well explained, love to listen your voice and use of english language. I have a question for you. One of the the introductions slides you shown a tomato which got my eyes on it. Would you mind sharing with me what kind of tomato is that? Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. Thank you for your kind comments. I think what you see is a tiger melon--it is about the size of a large tomato and sort of mottled. We grew them that year and didn't like them all that much so we didn't grow them again. But they are pretty, so that is why we put that in the video!
@@RoseRedHomestead thank you so much for your answer and you are very welcome.It does look like a tomato and such a beautiful picture pleasing my eyes. I had gone every Saturday to the Farmer’s Market in Torrance, California. There was a vendor who grew very interesting tomatos, bell peppers from all over the world. For my surprise - and being Hungarian- she even grew Hungarian bell peppers it’s called bogyoszloi. Thank you again for your videos I’m learning a lot from you. I keep watching them 😀 My very best for you, Andrea

“It’s going to open up as a rose.” Of course it is! 😉. Your Rose Red Homestead loaves look fabulous.
Once again, your instructions are so clear, there’s no information missing.

I had to play around with the weight and use a Pyrex dish so there’s some room for improvement which I’m excited for 👍👍 will also be sourcing a better scale and a thermometer after the lockdown. Thank you again for this lovely recipe and meticulous teaching
I only have 1 dutch oven. Can I safely split the recipe in half? Great videos BTW. Thx 👍💐
I love watching your video, such a good explanation given by u. I will try make your bread recipes. Have a great day and♥️ love from Malaysia🇲🇾😊.
Thank you so much 😊
I've had such a hard time with maintaining my starter. I'm just about ready to give up. Don't know how I could have missed the polish method for as long as I've been trying. I'm going to try it today. Thanks so much for your excellent tutorial!!!
You are very welcome. I hope it works well for you.
Just add less water. 2 parts flour for 1 part water is plenty
Pam: Pullman style pans are supposed to provide the same steam conditions for oven spring that the closed cast iron dutch ovens do? What do you think? I know that you start with the lids closed on pullman pans and remove about half way through the baking process, they are also supposed to make the crumb finer. I am sure other followers would like to know the answer as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I have used pullman pans for making sandwich bread, but never for this artisan bread recipe.
Hot bread with butter. The best!
Wowziers
The containers for dough!
Nice job Rose?
Thanks.
The poolish was 100% hydration, did you mention what the overall hydration was?
Thank you. Those boules looked picture perfect
Pam will this recipe work just as well in a loaf pan for a more traditional sandwich bread?
How often do you season the dutch oven? I also bought the book from Ken and are able to visualize how it is done- you are such a joy to watch!!
I LOVE that book! Hope you are enjoying it as well. I wipe my Dutch ovens out with Crisco every time after I take the bread out so they are ready for the next time. It works great when they are still hot from the oven.
Can you please provide a link for the scale? Thank you! I love ❤️ watching you and have learned so much! 👍
I wish I could but it is so old that the brand name has worn off. There are many good ones out there and one of these days I will need to replace mine as well.
Will you please post a link to your proofing baskets, the clear rising containers and the Dutch ovens? Thank you in advance!
You seemed in good spirit
Thanks. Probably because I love to make that particular recipe of bread!
Yum!
I'm loving this and the Biga. Have you ever made Salt Risen bread? My great grandma used to make it with a potatoe and capture the wild yeast. I wish I had her recipe.
I wish you had it too and then could share it. It sounds so interesting.
I don't remember what she calls it but the u tube channel...Parsnips and Parsimony....she uses a potato recipe that her mom always uses to make bread.
Very cool ! Never heard of poolish, until today? Ty!
Can anyone tell me, Is it a milder flavor than sourdough? I swear I used too love sourdough, but last time I bought it, I did not? Was a very strong "sour" flavor..So much so, I coudn't even eat it. :(
Ty again for everything! Both of you!
Hi !!! I have found you on YT ! and loving your videos. I have a question , where do you get them large tubs you are using for the bread ?? I live in Canada but no idea where to get me some . Please help guide me to where I can order some . A great big thank you in advance.
Great you speck so nice & clear to understand, just one thing I would like to ask is if I have no time to cook so when finishing the proving after poolish & stood for 2 hours can I devide into 2 loafs & then freeze 1 keep the other for next day in fridge. Thank you stay safe Ann
Yes, you can do that.
Just made your apple pie filling. Absolutely delish. Please share what the name brand of they seasoning was. The one with coriander
It was The Spice Hunter Pumpkin Pie Spice. Enjoy!
I’m so happy I found your channel. Your knowledge, time are so much appreciated. Everything is well explained, love to listen your voice and use of english language.
I have a question for you. One of the the introductions slides you shown a tomato which got my eyes on it. Would you mind sharing with me what kind of tomato is that?
Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. Thank you for your kind comments. I think what you see is a tiger melon--it is about the size of a large tomato and sort of mottled. We grew them that year and didn't like them all that much so we didn't grow them again. But they are pretty, so that is why we put that in the video!
@@RoseRedHomestead thank you so much for your answer and you are very welcome.It does look like a tomato and such a beautiful picture pleasing my eyes. I had gone every Saturday to the Farmer’s Market in Torrance, California. There was a vendor who grew very interesting tomatos, bell peppers from all over the world. For my surprise - and being Hungarian- she even grew Hungarian bell peppers it’s called bogyoszloi.
Thank you again for your videos I’m learning a lot from you. I keep watching them 😀
My very best for you,
Andrea
You are so amazing!
Wow, thank you!
