  1. You always give me new assignments..lol
    Never though about hybrid version poolish + biga .
    Thanks for showing us how its done.

  2. This is actually brilliant. With the middle ground it could actually be done by hand. Can't wait to try this. btw your big a hand mixing method was brilliant.

  3. Hello, as always, excellently implemented. Thank you for the great explanations and ideas. Best regards

  4. Thank you for this! I always use your Poolish recipe and stayed off trying Biga because I don't own a mixer. I wonder if this preferment is suitable for hand mixing? I recon this would be a quicker recipe compared to the 30 min intervals with the Poolish.

  5. GREAT PIZZA , NIce preferment. One thing that you can control to reduce the spotting of bubbles that burn, is to make sure that the dough is ROOM TEMPERATURE and NOT cold / COLDER than room temp. My Preference NO ONIONS on this one the other ingridients are BANGING

  6. Sure, here’s a revised version:

    Great content, as always! I’m a big fan. Could you share what brand and type of double zero flour you used?

    Also, near the end of the video, when you mention letting the dough balls double in size, i'm guessing you're doing that in the containers and then baking it right after?

  7. How about trying Sour Dough and Biga Hybrid ? I'd love to see it! Great vids and pizzas! Thanks JS
