What Makes King Arthur Jr. Different?
This loaf is built around time. We use an 18-hour poolish to develop flavor and structure before the final dough even begins.
What you’ll notice:
-
A richer flavor (slightly sweet, wheaty, and nutty)
-
A softer, more satisfying crumb
-
Better moisture and freshness over time
-
A loaf that plays well with both sweet and savory toppings
What Is Poolish? (And Why We Use It)
Poolish is a pre-ferment (flour + water + a little yeast) that rests and ferments before we mix the final dough. We let it go for 18 hours, because that slow fermentation is where the magic happens.
Benefits of poolish fermentation:
-
Enhanced flavor
-
Improved texture
-
Extended shelf life
-
Increased moisture retention
-
Potential digestion benefits from long fermentation
Long fermentation helps break down some of the more complex components in flour. For many people, that means bread that feels a bit easier on the stomach compared to fast, industrial loaves.
