    Hi Maestro Vito, thank you so much for your passion, the great tips and secrets you’re sharing with us. I just found your channel two months ago but I’ve been watching your videos everyday. I never had confidence making pizzas for other people but I did yesterday. I made 14 successful pizzas using your poolish and 70% hydration method using two stones in a gas grill. All 12 people gobbled these up,and didn’t eat the other food brought by one member of the family. They all said the pizzas were soft and crunchy. There were no leftovers. I never knew pizza could be this so great and fun to make. GRAZIE MILLE!!! I wish you all the success in the world.

    Thank you very much Vito. I saved this video to help me with my pizza making. In this video you explained much better how to prepare biga (previous videos were somehow harder to understand all the small details). I started 2 years ago firstly with biga, but i noticed that without a spiral mixer it is impossible to have dough without dried out biga lumps. I see now that also with hands you made nice smooth dough. i will definitely try biga again to test the difference from poolish.

    I remembered in past videos you mentioned how much more difficult it is to make the dough with Biga without a stand mixer/dough machine, but now I see why that is the case - definitely takes a good amount of elbow grease to get the dough all combined and eventually smoothed out! Thank you so much for sharing the comparisons between using 100% Biga and 20% Biga, plus the small history behind how it was used in the pizzerias in Napoli!

    I prefer 100% Biga, Because I only have to measure out the flour once, and the taste is amazing and superior to a poolish. I get why people love poolish because it’s easier and quicker to make the preferment. But I have a dough mixer. The crust development is way better with a Biga. I use Maestro Roberto Susta’s recipe.

It has truly improved not only my knowledge of making a pizza a d the understanding of what makes a good pizza. Thanks so much for sharing with us such intimate details of the pizza making world. I have also enjoyed the videos on what to do with left over pizza dough and over proofed pizza dough. This is great for alternative uses as well making it ok to make a little more than you need sometimes with the mindset to make other things out of the dough beside pizza. Try making a few more calazones and stromboli videos as well from pizza dough.

    Need a video about timing, For not to get overdone dough. For example. A need to make pizza at 17-00. When should I start making poolish/biga, when should i make a dough, How long could it stay in the fridge max, when should I get it from the fridge or from the freezer. For how long can i leave the balls at room temp, how long can i have it in the fridge etc.

    Make a poolish before going to bed, leave it out on the counter, it should triple in size. In the morning you make the final dough. You could use the dough at 1700 that same day but it would be better to wait until the next day or even the following day. Take the balls out 3-4 hours before cooking or in your case 1300 hours.

    I prefer to always poolish at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours, biga is harder to mix when you don't have a spiral mixer at home, and is makes more dry dough. I think a better fragrance is with poolish also. Dissolve biga like you make it is irritating to do this by hand and despite that always leaves lumps.

    Last over proof dough I had I decided to try and make fried dough like at the fair. It worked out pretty good. I pulled the dough extra thin and put two holes at the ends to make it look like a figure 8 bow and tossed it in some 350F (175C) oil. Came out soft and airy with lots of crags for butter and cinnamon sugar. One pizza dough ball made 6 fried dough.

    So you make 50% hydration biga, then mix it with fresh 80% hydration dough mix in radio of 1:3 = biga 20% - voila! You get about 70~75 dough Making long story short: 50% dough -> 24h = biga + 3 times more of 80% dough mix -> 1h -> form the balls -> 2h = pizza dough

    I make little bit sourdough/lievito madre + 0,5gr dry yeast and make a biga with 40% Hydration for 12 hours for strenght and more explosiveness. I allways think it has more power in going up becauce its harder for the yeast/sourdough to develop in a dry biga. Then mix main dough to 80% Hydration with manitoba. Then i stretch and fold few times and put the balls in seperate glasses and then they can rise in the fridge for up to 2 days. I take them out cold because otherwise its very hard for me to make the pizza with this Hydration

    From my experience on biga as a prof. Pizzaiolo it's better to use in biga the full. Amount of yeast that you gonna put in. The whole dough. So if you want 2 gr pes 1 kilos of flour you should put in your dough 20% of biga... And if you want a more puffy crust go for 1-3 gr of yeast on the refreshing! If you go with all the flour from the start ... Yeast is gonna eat all the sugars of your dough... So you should cook the pizza and use higher temps and to be careful for the over proof!
