    In this video really i show you all the differences for the biga and poolish
    I show you how we make it everything from scratch, from making the biga or poolish to making the pizza dough to making the pizza and also taste, the taste is what makes this video so special....
    Please help me bring this video viral by just putting a like and a comment and of course subscribe it's everything free!
    Here the recipe :
    ●BIGA- 500ml water, 1kg. flour, 5gr. fresh yeast.
    Day after add 180ml. water with 31gr. salt. After making the balls it will be ready after 2 hours
    ●POOLISH- 500ml water, 500gr. flour, 5 gr. fresh yeast.
    Day after add 255gr. flour, 19gr. salt. Rest is the same as the biga.
    What's Poolish?
    In baking with the indirect method, is the liquid biga is a pre-dough obtained by mixing water, flour and yeast in such proportions that it is very liquid (1 l of water per 1 kg of flour). The percentage of yeast varies according to the number of leavening hours.
    Features bubbles from the liquid chariot
    It requires the use of strong and balanced flours, with W greater than 300 and P / L (strength / elasticity ratio) varying between 0.5 and 0.6, short mixing times, final temperature not exceeding 25 ° C and a period of variable fermentation from two to twenty-four hours at temperatures from 16 to 22 ° C. Depending on the type of bread to be prepared, the other ingredients are then added. After a further leavening, the final dough is cut, formed and left to rise again before baking.
    For this leavening, the name poolish is sometimes used, especially with the spread of cookbooks on the Internet and the lack of knowledge, by various Internet users, of the relative term in Italian. This term derives from the distortion of Polish English or Polish German, that is Polish: it probably derives from the fact that the chariot was known in Poland and was learned by the Austro-Hungarian bakers thanks to the Poles; from here it then arrived in England and the name should remember the country of origin [1]. In Poland it is known by the name zaczyn or zaczyn polski, which translated literally means simply "trigger" (in the sense of yeast) or "Polish trigger".
    What is Biga?
    In baking with the indirect method, the biga is a pre-dough obtained by mixing water, flour and yeast in such proportions that it is rather dry (about 500 g of water per 1 kg of flour and 5 g of fresh brewer's yeast).
    It requires the use of strong and balanced flours, with W greater than 300 and P / L (strength / elasticity ratio) varying between 0.5 and 0.6, short mixing times, final temperature not exceeding 21 ° C and a fermentation period ranging from ten to forty-eight hours at temperatures of 16/18 ° C, for chariots up to 24 hours, or 4 ° C in the first phase and 18 ° C in the last 24 hours, for chariots up to 48 hours. Depending on the type of bread you intend to prepare, the other ingredients are then added. After a further leavening, the final dough is cut, formed and left to rise again before baking.

      🦉 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.

    • @Sai-wf8pz
      @Sai-wf8pz 3 года назад +79

      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!!!

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!

  • @KJ_nyc
    @KJ_nyc 3 года назад +4

    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.

    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 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’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!

    They both looked great the poolish looked softer but the Biga still looked wonderful the Biga seemed easier to mix and ball. it would be awesome to try and eat both styles. Great video.

    Vito, I love your videos. I’ve been watching for more than two years. I’ve tried a lot of your recipes and they are always fantastic. Recently I’ve been making my dough with a biga/poolish. It’s somewhere in the middle and I ferment for 50 hours. I wish you could try it. Big pizza love from Scozia!

      Rico Franchi that sounds interesting. What % hydration is that. And what do you add after 50 hours? Just salt? If so how does it differ to a normal direct dough without preferment. Thanks

    Which one I'm gonna like more? Um, I just wanna eat both! All your videos make me hungry. XD Also, I just love how he's sitting there, just literally saying "they're both just great, I can't really give a number to either of them!"

    Vito, I really appreciate your videos and the time you put into them. I'm sure the recipes are excellent. Maybe you can go into a bit more detail about the difference between poolish into biga, and what the effect of 100% hydration and 50% hydration preferments have on the final dough. 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. For example, how would you decide whether to use poolish or biga for a specific dough like Napoletana, Pizza in Teglia, etc? Thanks for your consideration.

  • @cgb1394
    @cgb1394 3 года назад +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.

    is this very different to the slow cold fermented method, in which you make a regular dough and put it 72 hours to ferment? i know I should rather try it to see it by myself but I don't have that time and I'm sort of impatient

    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?

    • @Studiovette
      @Studiovette 3 года назад +9

      Dr. Dough44 are you using fresh mozzarella that has not been drained? Or too much sauce? Also it depends on your oven? If you’re using a home oven you can par bake the crust first with the sauce on and then add the cheese when the crust has cooked almost all the way thru and just enough time for the cheese to melt.

    • @drdough7982
      @drdough7982 3 года назад +2

      Pete Hatzakos I use fresh mozzarella and I don’t think I’m using too much sauce, might be the mozzarella, I’ll try par baking the crust. Thanks!

    • @Studiovette
      @Studiovette 3 года назад +7

      @@drdough7982 go to a whole milk low moisture quality mozzarella and see what happens also. Not the fresh type but the packaged type as an experiment. This happens to me sometimes because I use burrata. I now know to not put the cheese on until after the pizza cooks because it literally melts on the hot pizza. 👍

    • @vitoiacopelli
      @vitoiacopelli  3 года назад +8

      That problem is because the fresh mozzarella that you use and also when you spread the tomato sauce is way to much in the center of the pizza
