White rustic made with a poolish

Looks tasty, got a pic of the crumb?
- Alas no, this was made to order for a friend, I'll be making myself one soon though so I'll post better pics of that one.
I should try baking with poolish. It seems like it requires too much planning vs sourdough which you can keep stasised very active in the fridge till you need it.
- Nah, it's super easy, I just make it the night before I want to bake and leave it at room temp for about 16 hours, then use it all.
  
  If anything it's a bit less hassle than a sourdough, though different in both texture and flavour.
  
  This one was pretty high hydration which made shaping more of a challenge, it almost overflowed the banneton.
  
  Oh right, I guess you don't need to also ferment the dough for like another 12 hours or whatever like with sourdough. I was thinking it was a 2 day affair rather than just overnight
