    This week Adam Atkins (@peddlingpizzas) shows us how to make 100% Biga pizza dough in the Gozney Roccbox - this one is for any pizza lover looking to up their game and produce crusts which are full of flavour and beautifully puffy (the Biga the better we say) 🍕.
    This recipe requires you to make a pre-ferment called a Biga the day prior to making your pizza. It’s referred to as ‘100% Biga’ as 100% of the flour used in this recipe goes into the Biga pre-ferment on day 1.

    It really looks amazing. I was wondering how to scale this recipe - I mean typically when making pizzas I only make around 4-5 dough balls (240 grams each) from 620 grams of flower and 400 ml of water. How do I adjust the amounts in a smart way? Can the recipe just be scaled down in a linear way (kind of percentage wise) or is there something to be aware of with e.g. the amount of yeast?

    • @stefanoromanelli
      @stefanoromanelli 2 года назад +3

      Hey Martin, they express everything in percentage, it's scalable.
      You always start from the flour. For the biga, this recipe uses 45% of water and 1% of yeast (10g on 1kg). For the dough it brings it up to 66% (210grams on 1kg) of water/hydration, 1% of diastatic malt, and 2.5% of salt.
      These ratios will never fail you. There are amounts you can tune up or down, but that comes with practice.
      Hope this helps

We have Silestone over here in Spain and the shine on it is way better than natural stone or marble and so is the cost! Corian tends to be a matt finish.

Tried this recipe during the weekend and I found that the dough literally blew up in the Roccbox - so much so that the crust puffed up so high and so wide that it pushed all the pizza toppings into a pool in the middle of the pizza!!

      All your ingredient amounts would change by a factor of 5, if you follow his recipe. Baker's percentages allow you to scale your recipes to any amount.
      For 1000g flour (1kg) he used 10g of fresh yeast (1%).
      For 5kg of flour multiply by 5. You'll need 50g of fresh yeast.
      By the way, f you intend to use dried active yeast instead of fresh you need to use less, There are conversion factors on the web. Search ' convert from fresh yeast to active dry yeast'
      Hope that helps.

    I'm no expert on pizza but I fridge ferment my whole dough anywhere from 24hrs - 3 or 4 days. Had my best result leaving a 70% hydration (500g flour/350g water) dough for 3 days in the mixing bowl (in the fridge) right after kneading. pulled it out cut it into two portions, tucked the undersides in to form a ball and get a tight skin formed. Threw that on my pizza stone on my weber with a good fire and the lid cracked. Tasted amazing and the edges puffed up at least 2". What is the difference between fermenting the whole dough or just a part of it? I don't get it, just adds another element to the planning, which for me is unnecessary.

    The irony... A man mastering & making an awesome dough recipe with the last name "Atkins" 😂..... Just Saying 🤗.
    Jokes aside, a properly made biga dough is amazing. I have compared both, a poolish & biga dough & the result are amazing. The fragrance fr9m the biga is amazing when making the dough. As for major differences between a poolish dough and a biga dough, my wife & I both came to the same conclusion. We found the biga texture to be more chewy & the poolish to be more tender. This was a side by side comparison with 2 doughs made with the exact same ingredients & quantities of each ingredients & temperature.
    Just thought I share & see if anyone else found the same results.

  • @MarcDupuis50400
    @MarcDupuis50400 Год назад

    Hey everyone, I'm asking for the community's advices/help ! 😅 So I've done this recipe several times, followed it pretty much to the dot. I just don't have a spiral mixer so I knead by hand. By the time I leave my dough for a 20 min raise, it looks pretty much as it should, it holds itself, it's not too sticky anymore after giving it a couple strech and folds, anyway it looks pretty good. Balling up works as expected too, they puff up as they should, so far so good.
    The issue I notice is when I get to stretching: the dough seems weak AF then !! I pretty much cannot hold it in the air more than half a second or it starts streching itself and is close to ripping. So I try to handle it super gently, stretch as little as possible, but even then I'll always have a super thin spot somewhere which will inevitably rip or burn in the oven. On Adam's stretching here, and most neapolitan videos, I can tell the base is thin but still has a decent thickness, most of em look like a couple milimeters. Mine always end up with a super duper thin spot. That also happened with some other recipes TBF (I tried poolish and sourdough too), but this one the most. For this recipe I've been using 100% 00 flour. Could this be the issue ?
    I think my kneading must not be correct. Basically I never have a really successful window pane test. Even though it feels like I'm kneading for long, too long if anything (but if I do it shorter I still don't have a succesful windo pane test).
    Does anyone have advices ?

      Hey! Sounds like you've probably not got enough gluten development, if you don't have a mixer, the best thing you can replace it with is either elbow grease, or time.
      Knead it more if you can, or if that seems to be getting you nowhere, try putting it in the fridge to prove for longer (it'll slow down the yeast, but gluten formation will continue).

    I tried the recipe, and I ended up with clumps of flour in the dough after mixing the final time. Is this because I didn’t mix the biga well enough?

    I used W280 “00” Italian pizza flour and weighed it and weighed the water and used a micro scale to weigh the “new” instant yeast. Did the 16 hour ferment in a similar but slightly larger bottomed tub than the one Adam used. I noticed that my dry starter didn’t show any bubbling (I tested the yeast the same day by baking bread and it rose fine). When I added the remaining 210g of cold water in the mixer (half then salt then the other half) it got very wet and didn’t want to absorb all the water. I had to add more flour (approx 40-50g) for the mixer to bring it together. Any ideas why it was so wet? I’ve just set it out for the 20 minute relax and it was incredibly sticky and hard to gather together - more like kids slime. I have no idea why the flour didn’t want to take on 65% water. We’ll see what happens when I come to ball it in 20 mins.

      Hmm. I can now report back. The dough had GOOD flavour. I think that’s about the best I can say. I’m sure the negatives were down to me:
      1. When I came back to the 20 minute rested dough, it had relaxed as expected but was still very sticky. Far more sticky than Adam’s rested dough was in the video. I had to dust it liberally with flour just to be able to handle it because, without that, each piece I tore to make a 280g dough ball stuck like crazy to my hands. Just dusting my hands with flour didn’t help enough: the dough immediately absorbed it and then stuck to my hands. I didn’t try wetting my hands (to see if the dough would be unable to stick to wet hands) because it just felt wrong to contemplate adding even more water to this situation.
      2. I carefully balled the dough (and I’ll say now that my technique is not great) by rotating it gently while holding it and tucking the dough under itself until I had a smooth top and a generally circular shape.
      3. I put the dough balls into my proofing tray (a lidded but not 100% sealed container), left it out for an hour then into the fridge for 24 hours. The dough balls expanded significantly sideways without rising vertically too much. They merged into one six-sectioned mass but remained easy to visually see the separate dough balls. In future I’d have to use a larger proofing tray: they needed around 20x20cm clear space if I wanted to prevent them merging/touching. Between 4:18 and 4:33 in the video, Adam’s balls (steady) didn’t seem to expand much: they were almost touching at 4:18 and were only slightly more merged after the hour. When he balled the dough, Adam says “they’ll last a few more hours in the fridge” So is it a rule for Biga that, because they proof/ferment for 16 hours on day 1, you shouldn’t let them sit much longer after you ball it? I.e. you have a few hours to use it and then all bets are off?
      4. I took the dough tray out of the fridge about an hour before I wanted to begin making the pizzas. The dough was, again, very sticky in the tray and was firmly stuck to the bottom and sides of the tray. I had to throw quite a lot of flour on top but that wasn’t enough so I had use my scraper to get between and then under them, like scraping paint off a wall, and, because of their size, they stretched and clung to everything and each other for dear life until finally letting go. Should I have oiled/floured the tray before I put the dough balls into it? I noticed that the longer the tray sat out at this point, the more the dough continued to puff and swell in the tray.
      5. Here’s where I started to get frustrated. I liberally floured my clean, smooth counter and gently laid the misshapen dough ball onto a decent pad of flour. But when I began to gently press the dough from the 12 o’clock position (about 3/4” in from the edge) and work my way towards the 6 o’clock position, I found that my dough was significantly more elastic than Adam’s.
      I have often had this issue; the dough simply doesn’t want to stay at the size/shape it is pressed/stretched to: each time I do a vertical line of presses, the base gets longer but the sides pull in. Then, as I begin small presses towards the sides to work back up to 12 o’clock, the top and bottom pull in. And so it goes: I end up with a small, misshapen base which has fought me all the way.
      Previously I have been told (I have this issue a lot) that I used the wrong flour, or overworked the dough, or didn’t let it proof/develop for long enough, or left it too long when balled and the gluten got too strong, or didn’t take it out of the fridge for long enough before stretching it so it was too cold and tense (we’ve all been there)…
      6. I don’t like wasting food but I only needed two pizzas and I had six bases and their increasing puffiness made me think it was now or never, so I tried using the DJ method and the knuckle method to stretch it and even the steering wheel and gravity method. I tried the old slap method too.
      Each time, it resisted the stretch until (each time) it would finally seem to cooperate but actually would just end up (EVERY TIME) being super thin in the middle. I had 3 tear-throughs and 2 near misses. Maybe (likely) that’s my poor technique but I can’t help but feel that Adam’s dough at 4:45 looks FAR more cooperative than mine did and I think that must help reduce tearing/over-thinning because when you press down, you’re not having to press so hard or so often that your fingertips are pushing the dough to nothing. Instead, Adam’s pressing is compacting the centre which adds material to the base while also stretching it.
      So, whereas Adam took a 6” dough ball, left the outer inch alone and turned the inner 5” into 11” of pressed base, I took a 7” dough ball, pressed/stretched the middle 2” into nothingness and then pulled the outer 5” into a crust.
      So the outcome was a crust that only puffed up mildly in the Roccbox, a misshapen and too-small centre which was too thin and had holes (which are impossible to handle when it comes to a pizza oven: you just end up with melted, burned, wet ingredients stuck to the stone, preventing a good cook for the next one that goes in.
      I think I need help with the recipe (too wet), guidance on the proofing (short (few hour) shelf life for this recipe?) and an in-person class on stretching and shaping. I’m not going to give up, but it’s a lot of work for such a frustrating result. Thanks if you read this far!! I don’t think I’m ready for all the molecular science that goes on at pizzamaking.com; it wouldn’t be so bad if this was a subject with only one correct method/answer but I find the thousands of different sworn-by surefire methods/recipes a little overwhelming.
      TL:DR - I suck at making pizzas.

      @@LoremIpsumProd I didn’t actually think to do a windowpane test - I should have. Mind you, from what I’ve read, the windowpane test shows whether the gluten has developed sufficiently or not but if it hasn’t, then I understand that it might be because it hasn’t had enough proofing time but could just as easily be because the dough was overworked. :) So, I’m kind of afraid to DO a windowpane test because, if the dough fails, I really don’t think I’d know what to do about it: I could end up waiting days and it’ll never recover if I overworked it in the first place. :)

    If fermenting the biga in refrigerator (as the temperature is near 30°C) there's no problem if I do the little hole in the film covering the box (as the refrigerator is "no frost" I'm afraid is going to dry the dough.
    Maybe if there's a little hole doesn't do anything.

      malt powder. it's used for flavour and to give the yeast new sugars to "eat". you can replace it with honey: slightly different flavour but same result in any other way.

    Warning: this dough VERY easily becomes too wet and clumpy. You will need to make sure that you don't try out the dough in the first fermentation step (use an air tight container, do NOT use plastic wrap as it will not be air tight enough to not dry out the dough over night). A spiral mixer is VERY important to break up clumps during the mixing stage. And do *not* add all of the water until you know for certain that the dough can take it / needs it. Good luck!
