1Make the poolish: In a bowl, mix 300 grams of water, 5 grams of yeast, 5 grams of honey and 300 grams of flour. Mix until it is all one dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making a couple of holes to let the poolish breathe. Let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature and then 16 to 24 hours in the fridge.
2Make the dough: In a mixer, put the poolish, 700 grams of water, 1100 grams of flour and 30 grams of salt.
3Mix everything together in the mixer at speed one for about 20 minutes, until the water becomes white. This takes about 30 seconds to one minute.
4Add the remaining water (a cup) little by little, increasing the speed of the mixer to 4 or 5. Make sure to add the water on top of the dough to cool it down.
