Italian Biga Pizza Dough Recipe

  • A Biga is the Italian version of a preferment or a yeast starter. It's very low in hydration compared to other variations, and I think that makes it very easy to manage. Preferments add more flavor to your dough without extending the fermentation time of the final dough.
    The Pizzello Forte pizza oven is by far the most affordable oven I've reviewed so far. Up front, it's very capable of producing a great Neapolitan-style pizza so it could be a great option for aspiring pizza makers on a budget.

    45% HYDRATION BIGA PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE
    (Biga is 35% of final dough - 4 dough balls)
    00 Flour #1, 252g
    Water #1, 113g
    Yeast, 1/4 tsp.
    FINAL DOUGH
    00 Flour #2, 378g
    Water #2, 290g
    Salt 17g
    For the Biga, combine flour #1 with the yeast. Add water #1 and toss the ingredients together until you have a shaggy mixture. Some loose flour is perfectly fine. Cover the Biga and let it ferment at room temperature for 12-14 hours,.
    Place the Biga in a mixing the bowl and add water #2. Swish the biga around to break it up a little, then add flour #2 and the salt. Mix the ingredients until you have a solid, uniform mass.
    Knead the dough for 5 minutes or until you have a fairly smooth dough. Turn it out on the counter and cover the dough. Let it rest for 10-20 minutes.
    Knead the dough for another minute or two, then form it into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let it rest for 1-2 hours or until slightly risen.
    Portion the dough into 250-260 gram pieces. Form them into balls and place each one into an oiled container with a lid. Rest at room temp until doubled in size. Now you're ready to make some pizza.
    Alternatively, you can cold ferment the pizza dough for 24-48 hours before using it. Just remember to rest the dough at room temp for an hour or two before baking with it.
    CAULIFLOWER PUREE
    Heavy Cream, 16 fl. oz. 473ml
    Fresh Garlic, 1 clove
    Cauliflower, small handful chopped
    Fresh Thyme, 1 sprig
    Sea Salt, to taste
    Place the heavy cream in a small sauce pot. Add the garlic, cauliflower, fresh thyme and season with salt. Bring the cream to a simmer, and reduce by 1/3. The cauliflower should be tender at this point.
    Remove the fresh thyme stem, then blitz the cauliflower cream with a stick blender until relatively smooth. Cool the cream in a refrigerator until you're ready to make pizza.
    SAUTEED SWISS CHARD
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 Tbsp.
    Brown Anchovy, 2 fillets chopped
    Swiss Chard, 1 bunch cleaned and chopped
    Fresh Garlic, 2 cloves minced
    Place a 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan. Heat it up over a medium-high flame. Add the anchovy fillets. Stir and add the Swiss chard. Cook for 2 minutes to wilt the greens, then add the garlic.
    Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the chard is very tender. Season with salt and pepper, then chill in the refrigerator until needed.

    I will be trying this ratio tomorrow. How does this compare to your other biga doigh recipe. The end hydration is almost the same but with a lower hydration biga is there one you prefer?
    I usually use a preferment higher in hydration and my end is usually around 65%. I do add a touch of olive oil sometimes.
    I also like using kenji lopez NY style dough and jim Laheys no knead.
    Thanks.

    Hey Looks great! Any reason why you chose a lower hydration Recipe? Also, I always understood biga needs to ferment at 18c for at least 18 hours with the lid slightly open to allow some air in? Any difference from that process to yours? Thanks again looks Fantastic 🔥

    • @slofty
      @slofty Рік тому

      Lid only needs cracked for smaller containers-- air will not stale in larger ones. 18hr biga is for smaller yeast quantities. If you want to try different biga parameters Masterbiga phone/tablet app is an excellent tool (I am not associated).

  • @etherdog

    Tim, the thing that resonates with me is the cauliflower/cream sauce. I be "um=um=damn". Since I didn't get to handle the oven, I'd say it did ok for what it was. The size was small, but depending on recovery time, you gotta consider what is legit and what is knock-off. For instance, my All-Clad (I am not a bot and this is not an ad) pots and pans. There are three things that strike me about them. First, they cook very evenly--even when the temperature source is less uniform, the construction of the All Clad tends to distribute it more evenly. The second point is that they clean very easily. The third is that, since they are a little pricey, I take much better care of them and my sense of satisfaction and accomplishment are elevated. Do you have anything analogous in your toolshed that brings you a similar feeling?

    You make great pizzas dude, especially those non-traditional ones :)
    On a side note...both Ooni & Roccbox (Gozney) started as great affordable home pizza ovens but sadly that's not the case anymore. Funny how both their CEOs had put out some videos early on about their vision to create an affordable oven for everyone to enjoy home made stone oven pizzas and now it's like yupp that'll cost you 600-800 bucks ha ha. Might as well shell out another 800 or so and buy a proper dome pizza oven. This Pizzello Forte looks good and obviously great price compared to the rest.

Somewhere on the outside of all these types of ovens is an untouchable surface. It's a little ridiculous to be concerned about the heat lost from pulling it out just enough to spin without a turning peel. You're talking about seconds.
