My best pizza to date – I'm very happy!

Caputo cuoco flour

Dough hydration – 67%

Preferment – 100% biga hydrated at 45%
Yeast – 0.3% in biga only

Timing:

Biga – 5h at room temp, fridge overnight

Next day make the dough, make sure it's strong and create balls (this one was 275g)
Leave balls 1-2h at room temp and in the fridge for 2 days.

Bake day:

I par bake in electric pizza oven

Take the balls out of the fridge 1-2h before baking.

Set the temp to 350 C and bake with sauce only for 2 min. Then put rest of ingredients and set the temp to 440 to finish the bake. This way the top gets max heat since the heating element is on.

    the bake would need some more heat from the side still but this is already looking great, very good work keep it up!
