Poolish
Poolish is a mother dough made from a mixture of flour and water, sometimes in the same proportions, sometimes with more water, to which no salt is added. It can be considered as being a half-way house between natural mother doughs and and those which use a normal amount of yeast, as the proportion of yeast used is quite low.
