Add 0.25g to 1g of yeast to 100g of warm water and stir it well until the yeast is bubbly and foamy.
Now add 100g of flour to the water and yeast and stir until it forms a wet batter. Place the batter into a jar with a lid.
Place the lid loosely onto the jar and leave in a warm place to ferment for 12 to 24 hours.
You'll know the poolish is ready to use when it has doubled and is bubbling. It will smell yeasty and sweet.
