Another great video, did you still get the crunchy crust with the sourdough biga. Cheers

[@LevitaNostra]

Airy on the inside crispy on the outside 😎 it's awesome!!

I'm going to try it, if I'm using a gas deck oven. What temp should I use and what sort time should I aim for. Thnaks

[@LevitaNostra]

@@dionanthony8755 depends what style you like, lower temp = crispier. By lower temp I'm talking 475-550F, higher (fluffier) 750-950F, you can always go in between for something in between :)
475-550 takes about 8-10 min.
550-750 takes 3-7 min
750-950 takes 1-3 min

I’m a poolish girl myself. I should give biga a shot. Thank you for the detailed video.

When you do let me know how you like it!

@@LevitaNostra Will do. Flour is AP? All Trumps? 00? Did you buy the mixer for the pizza catering? Sweet!

[@LevitaNostra]

I would recommend high gluten or bread flour, I used Caputo Americana Super 00, which is very high protein. I got it for doing test recipes to try for the best possible dough recipe for the business

@@LevitaNostra The best I can do is Caputo Blue.

@@apatterson8128 that is absolutely fine!! I wouldn't try for more than 12-24h CT after the biga though
