PAIN DE MAISON SUR POOLISH
The poolish was a turn-of-the-century breadmaking technique, but of late it has revi-
talized the artisan bread movement. A starter dough is prepared and left to sit for at
least six hours before the dough is mixed. The final mixing and kneading phase is
known as the petrissage. In the bread machine, you get to skip the long hours of hard
work needed to make a nice loaf of bread from this classic sponge starter recipe. The
instructions given here are for baking the bread in the machine, but I also like to hand
shape this bread into boules and bake them in the oven. This loaf is dense and slightly
sour.
