this is the poolish for recipe #4. i'm feeling really good about this one.
poolish overnight:

poolish 24 hours:

tonight i make dough from the poolish.
eventually i'll invest in a pizza stone or ceramic tiles for my oven. i've avoided buying a stone because i've owned 3 of them & ended up dumping them because i moved somewhere else. for reasons i don't remember now, lugging the stone to a new place was not an option.
i'm convinced that if i buy yet another stone, i'll have to move again.
wait. that might not be such a bad thing.
