No matter how far I sway, I always end up back at Julian Sisofo's Poolish recipe. It's got the best of everything. Pre-ferment that gives it a light airy taste and easy to eat.. great gluten strength, easy to stretch.. + awfully easy to make. I do drop it down to 65%,, and I use 169 g of water on the final dough.

Enjoy!

    Beautiful, simply beautiful! What about rising procedure, how many hours before and after dividing and shaping dough?
    Love the crust!

    For those of you that want a written recipe instead of trying to cook along to a video, it’s at https://juliansisofo.com/blog/poolishpizza

    Thanks for that! I’ll give a try. BTW what water temps do you use? He doesn’t specify, but he’s just sort of lightly mixing without a lot of friction, so I suppose there’d be no need to use cold water. So I’m guessing it’s just lukewarm (~75°), is that correct?

    Thanks! If I ever get an outdoor oven I will definitely save this. Beautiful looking pizzas.

    What temp for the water?

    I have my hands full with making just about every other style of pizza for now.

    Perfect timing We’ve been looking for a new recipe. What temp/time do you cook at?

    Assuming this is best suited for outdoor ovens pushing 700°+, yeah? Curious if this would work for a pizza steel preheated @ 550f

    Guy stirs with a butter knife, in a metal bowl… great pizza, but for the love of god get a spatula you animal.
