    Could you explain the concept behind a beega? (biga?) Dough related things are black magic to me. What is it for, and how does it differ from conventional bread making? What effect does it have on the dough?

    • @ItalianFood
      @ItalianFood  Год назад +2

      A Biga is a preferment mixture of flour, water and yeast (active dry or fresh). A natural leavener like sourdough can and is also used by some. In order to understand a Biga, we have to talk about a Poolish. A poolish is an equal mixture of water and flour by weight. A Biga is similar except it's not an equal mixture, it's more flour than water. It's far more shaggy whereas a poolish is very homogenous. Classic Bigas are between 50% to 60% hydration with some going up to 70% (example of a Biga with 50% hydration - 100 grams of flour mixed with 50 grams of water). Both a Biga and Poolish are made in advance of the base dough and are added during the process of making the dough to add flavor and to help jumpstart fermentation. When the dough is mixed the Poolish or Biga is added, then the dough sits out to bulk ferment from 5 to 24 hours - at many places it's never refrigerated. It's then balled up and placed in the refrigerator to finish fermenting (cold ferment) for a longer period of time typically 36 hours and up to 5 days.

      @@Berkana It adds flavor and jumpstarts fermentation allowing you to add little or no additional yeast to the final dough.
