      I prefer with poolish its much softer , with biga its “chewy” . Biga does have more flavours. You should do a roman style pizza video in the future

      🦉 There's a no-knead dough recipe floating around. You just let the yeast do its thang for 18 hours. That's the lazy recipe for me although I sometimes find the dough too wet to handle so will knead in some more flour before the balling stage.

      Poolish is typically used in french baking to incirporate a very light nutty flavor. It adds a bit more crunch on the outside of tue dough amd keeps the inside very soft and airy. is very easy to use and make. Biga is used in itslian baking. It incorporates a lot more flavor than poolish and it puffsup more in the oven. However, ot makes a very chewy dough. Not soft like poolish. Just very chewy. It is also very dry and stiff so it takes a VERY long time to incorporate more flour and water into the final dough.

    I think that the final effect in baking is also how this pizza is formed, I can see the differences when one person made a bigge and the other a poolish. The biga was molded longer and pressed more and the poolish pizza was made more gently, which made it grow better, one person should make both pizzas

    Vito I changed my dough making 6 months ago and use the polish method. The result is unbelievable. The dough is so flavorful. I actually prefer thick pizza now. I use a rectangular pan and put a good amount of olive oil in it and stretch the dough out in the olive oil and let it rise a little before I bake the pizza. It’s almost like focaccia it’s so delicious. Last week I finally tried this style of dough in my OONI oven and it was amazing. I will never go back. Sometimes I have left over dough and it’s still amazing after being in the fridge for a week. I honestly don’t go to pizzerias anymore because my pizza making skills have evolved.

    As a life long fan of neapolitan pizza, I refrained from trying to make some with standard home ovens. My son finally gifted me one of those fancy pizza ovens because I was too cheap to get one myself.
    After watching gazillion videos, I set out to try a set of 4 recipes. Though the results were better than frozen pizzas, none came close to the quality that I and my family able to experience in NYC and SF Bay Area. Then I stumbled onto this while searching for "poolish vs biga." Holy shizzle, what a gem! I tried the recipe with poolish: the crust, both texture and taste, is super close to what we had experienced.
    Grazie mille, Vito, mio fratello!!!

    I used to make biga dough but this week I finally decided to try poolish. The difference is abismal. Poolish is much much puffier and softer inside due to the high hydration of the dough. It's definitely harder to handle, but it's well worth it. Going to be making all my pizzas with poolish from now on.

    I say Poolish only because I love dipping the crust in olive oil afterward to eat like a breadstick! Lol! But I like the Biga too because it is perfect and even throughout, no big spots all even pizza. But I choose the Poolish because it is my favorite method to make my pizza but I do a fermentation just like the Biga! And I add the yeast later after it has finished fermenting in the fridge for 3 days. So I get the flavor and the big soft pillowy crust! Yay! Thank you for sharing! They did a beautiful job! Perfecto!

    I’m definitely a fan of poolish. Have made both, poolish always comes out better in my conventional oven at 550f/288c. I preheat for an hour, I use a 1/2 inch thick pizza steel and the poolish always gets crisp on bottom and the cornicione is always light and airy. It is the perfect combination of crisp and soft, thin crust under the toppings that has some tooth (chewy )and thick around the edge that is like a pillow. It’s a beautiful thing!

    It also depends how you open your dough. If you notice Vito barely handled it. He treated it very delicately to create that cannoto crust. I have achieved such cornicione with biga and poolish. Its all in how you handle your dough in neapolitan.

      Wish they'd redo this and have just one person make all the pizzas so it's more controlled. Like you said, the technique for opening makes a big difference. Also make like 4 of each so we can see the variation within each group. And there was like no explanation of flavor differences, or crust crispness or anything. For all the work they put into making this video, they should have spent some time talking about that.

    I will definitely be watching closely. I made your poolish last week for the first time and my dough was incredible! The best pizza I have ever made.

  • @cgb1394
    @cgb1394 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Biga probably gives more fermented flavors because 100% of the flour is fermented to some extent overnight. Poolish has some of the flour fermented only a few hours, so it probably tastes more doughy - which isn't a bad thing. It's probably a matter of taste. Do you want something more fermented or less fermented. The poolish also seemed a bit more sticky but that could possibly the a difference in hydration levels.

    I could be wrong, but I imagine the poolish version of fermentation produces the more complex flavor profile, especially if you leave the poolish portion to ferment overnight before adding the rest of the flour the next day. Also, it's a bit easier to add flour to a sticky dough (Poolish) then to add water in the way the Biga requires.

Your video is very entertaining, but more theory and more analysis of the final results and explanation of the differences between poolish and biga would be great.

  • @TheAndreArtus
    @TheAndreArtus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I tend to use the poolish style preferment as I find it easier to work with, but it runs out of steam (over ferment: makes the dough weak) a lot faster than a biga does. I cannot really tell much difference in fragrance (either before or after baking) when I use the same flour, yeast, water. I use bakers yeast, but I see in the description that you use brewers yeast; is that because of the higher alcohol tolerance, or some other reason?
    I also use the old dough method (retrain some dough to add to new mix) to good effect. All my breads and pizzas are made with long ferments as it is tastier and I find it more friendly to the gut.

    In the description you said the polish to stay 24h at rome temperature and in the video you said 1h room temperature and 24h in the fridge. What’s the difference and which one is the coreect way?

    hey vito i dont know why< it took me so long but i tried poolish couple days before for the first time and u were damn right this took my neapolitan pizza to the next level, thank you for dat u definitely my pizza mentor :D
    by the way i made 350g caputo flaur and 350g water and 1,5 g dry yeast for 24h in fridge and next day added just 150g flaur and salt but NO nore water (total 500g flaur 70% hydration). it was kinda my own experiment is that correct?

    • @scottmatthews1039
      @scottmatthews1039 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do it all the time, no problem; probably want to scale back a couple grams of yeast, depending on your room temperature 'phase'... or just pop it in the fridge sooner.

    • @joshuavoss1387
      @joshuavoss1387 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not a problem at all. Rule of thumb is to use half the measurement when using dry yeast. So if it is 5g fresh yeast then use 2.5g dry yeast. The water will hydrate and activate it so gently stir/mix it in just as he did the fresh yeast, no real changes needed.

      @@joshuavoss1387 Thanks. Our room temperature is 84-90F (32C) because we're near the equator, for poolish can I cut back on the yeast some more like 1g or should I follow the recipe as-is?

    Ciao, Vito! That poolish-based pizza is the clear winner in my book! Is it possible to substitute fresh sourdough starter for the yeast? If so, is the ratio still the same, or would I need to use more sourdough starter?

    Oh pizza near the sea - fantastico! I remember my first time in Italy... I went to Lido di Ostia. I bought pizza there and went to the beach. It was cold for Italians but not for me. I ate that pizzas with wine and swam a bit in the sea )))

  • @redwiizard
    @redwiizard 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Your recipe with the poolish ends up with 500ml water for 755g flour, that's 66% hydration. When I made it, my dough was quite less soft as in your video. Your dough looks more like a 75% hydration. Are you sure you didn't add water along with the 255g flour? 😀
    Regardless, good recipe but I will definitely increase the hydration next time. I usually have better results around 75% hydration.
    Edit: After cooking (and eating), the result was pretty great nonetheless :)

    • @Purgatory76
      @Purgatory76 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Change the 255g into 155g flour, and you get 76% hydration.

    • @evoke2104
      @evoke2104 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found this too, this recipe is misleading as the total dough weight is around 1.25kg, and that will not make 9 280g balls.

    Is there really a difference if you aim for the same hydratation % in the final dough? In this video Vito seems to end up with very different hydratation profiles and I wonder if the difference in result is due to that and not whether you used poolish vs biga to start with.
