If you'd like to make the poolish a sourdough starter that will work well. I like to use a teaspoon or two and allow the levain (formerly poolish in the recipe, as written) to rise overnight. On day two I DO recommend that you use the amount of yeast which the recipe states.

Hi Donna,

Happy baking!
