[@Pal9417]

For everyone asking a question about the poolish and the quantities of the flour to use during the dough making, I think I figured it out and thought I would share. the flour vs poolish thing does not scale like a lot of people are trying to do. It scales by using the hydration rate, which ideally is 70%. This means that if you make the poolish using 300 g of flour and water, the amount of flour and water you use for the dough must come out to the water being 70% of the total flour. So for eg. if you want to make dough w 700 total g of flour you would add 400g of flour to the poolish (300g +400g for the dough), and would add 190 g of water for a total of 490 g water (490g water/ 700 g flour = 0.7 or 70%). You can scale your dough by this ratio.

[@RandomPotatoCSGO]

in the end of the day what's the amount of poolish i need to get 1kg of dough (after poolish of course)?

[@whatseatingwayde]

@@RandomPotatoCSGO I'm going to double the poolish here to 600 grams of water and 600 grams of flour, 9 grams of yeast and mix. Stand an hour, refrigerate for 16-24. Then add 400 grams of flour, 9 grams of yeast and 20 grams of non-iodized salt. I don't use a sweetner. This will give me 60% hydration which is best for my oven temp and style of pizza. So total 1000 grams of Flour, 600 grams of water, 18 grams of yeast (active dry) and 20 grams of salt. It's a traditional baker percentage of 100% flour, 60% water, 2% salt and 1.8% yeast. Add honey if you choose.

[@normr2]

3:17 hey guys, Vito said this polish quantity is good for up to 2 liters of total water (2.86 kg total flour). In his other vid “How To Manage The Fermentation Process”, he says the polish recipe is good for up to 5 liters of water. 0-5 liters water, 5g of yeast. 5-10 liters water, 10g yeast, and so on. This one is a great vid with much more detailed info on the fermentation and how temp and weather will require modifications.

[@waygarcia]

Hey Paul, you seem to have a good understanding of the recipe. Is it 300 ml, mg or grams of water. He mentions all of them? Bit confused here.

Hi Vito, I've been using your poolish and dough recipes exclusively for my wood fired oven and I'm so thankful for your advice and videos. I noticed that in some poolish videos you use 200ml of water and flour with 5g of yeast and honey. In other videos you use 300ml of water and flour with 3g of yeast and honey. What is the difference? Thank you for helping teach me (and all of us) how to make fantastic pizzas! I feel like I'm right there with you learning how to do this. 😁👍

[@mysynz]

yea what's the difference

[@lucagabrielli5009]

I notice the same, I tried to write it down but he's inconsistent in his recipes. sometimes, he's forgetting honey. But he never said to use "mg" it was always "gr" (grammes). I manage to understand is that, it's 2 gr minimum of dry yeast (100-200 ml of water), or 3 gr (300 ml and above). Yeast is not proportional to the qty of flour. 3gr of dry yeast is enough for 300 ml of water or above). it's probably 5gr of fresh yeast.

[@philliesbluntch]

i think honey is just for home ovens to get a brown crust which is not needed if you do it in a >400°c oven. (but thats just a guess)

Hello Vito, now I understand my mistakes better.

Thank you for such a great channel! Thank you for sharing your pizza secrets! I have a question. In your video with Pro Home Cooks, your recipe for poolish stated 5 grams of dry yeast to 200 grams of flour which equates to 2.5% yeast to flour. In this recipe for poolish you say to use 3 grams of dry yeast to 300 grams of flour (1% yeast to flour). Can you explain why the difference?

@@gatflyoz I think, and I stress "I think", you must decide on the final weight of flour you want to use and just add it to the poolish. Example; for a 70% hydration, the recipe would be 500 gr flour, 350 gr water. The sugar and yeast was already added in the poolish. You use 300 gr water and 300 gr flour to make the poolish so that would leave a remainder of 200 gr of flour and 50 gr of water to be added to the poolish to make the finished product.

[@chriskvikstad4980]

Hi Michael, I bake a lot of sourdough bread and I've exclusively been using Vito's poolish dough recipe for my wood fired oven pizza dough. How was the flavor of your pizza dough using your sourdough starter vs the poolish? I've been comparing my sourdough bread side by side with Vito's dough and even after 3 days of cold fermenting the dough balls, I find that the pizza dough is very flavorful and complex, but it's not as acidic as my sourdough bread. I'm just wondering if your pizza dough tastes more like your bread or if it still has that distinctive dough flavor? I'm wondering if maybe the honey in the poolish keeps it from getting as acidic as our breads? Would love to hear your feedback. 😁👍

[@MrMikeT89]

@@chriskvikstad4980 Hi Chris! The first dough using starter came out very tasty but was a bit fragile. Had the slight acidity that we look for in sourdough bread even with honey added to the dough. The frozen doughs didn't work well as they were extra fragile even after being left to rest thawed at room temp for up to 4 hours. The poolish dough was a bit easier to work with, especially after freezing. It didn't have the acidic flavor of the sourdough but the fermentation did provide good flavor. Overall, I would suggest trying and if you have more than the 2-3 months of baking experience I have, I trust it'll be good regardless. PLEASE let me know how it came out! Good luck!

[@C0br4_DD]

I think he used half water and flour ingredient 300 gr each then when the poolish is ready you need to add the same amount of water and flour 300 gr of each wich makes a total of 600 gr of water and flour + salt at the end of recipe so for 3 kilos you use 1.5 kilo for poolish and you go so. I'm not a specialist this is only my own understanding from different videos i hope it can help you but surely ask a pizzario better Take care dude =)

[@AndyK1234567890]

@@C0br4_DD Not quite, but i'll explain my understanding of it and hopefully it can help you. The flour to water ratio depends on how much hydration you want to use. So for example if you were to use 300g flour and 300ml water for the poolish and you then used the exact same again for the dough, this would mean you used 100% hydration in the final product (which would be way too much and result in a very wet and unmanageable dough). Depending on the flour you're using, 60-70% hydration would usually be a good ratio to aim for, therefore if we work on a 70% hydration formula, it would be as follows: 300ml water + 300g flour for the poolish (always a 1:1 mix), then 400ml water + 700g flour for the dough. When the poolish and dough are mixed together, this gives a final ratio of 1000g flour and 700ml water = 70% hydration (water) mixture because the water content is 70% of the total flour content :)

[@theapan4889]

hey guys! My focaccia came out quite a bit dryer than I would've liked (put into air-tight bag but was basically inedible by day 2.5). It's possible that I overmixed slightly. Would this be the issue or is the recipe meant to be this way?

[@bartverwilst1801]

Hey Vito, still a bit unclear about poolish/flour ratio to make pizza's. I use 600 gr of flour for 4 pizzas. If i use 300 grams of flour for the poolish, do i add 300 gr 00 more? What if i made 500 grams of poolish, or 100 grams?

[@Chitario]

The poolish can be from 20-50% of the final weight of the dough. You can make more or less poolish. More poolish means quicker fermentation of the final dough balls. So this 300g/300g poolish is actually quite much for 6 dough balls. It would be 40% of the total mass. But as he said, this 300/300 is good for up to 20 pizzas, so a total weight of about 5kg (250g x20). There it would only be 12% but i would honestly prefer to make a 500g/500g poolish for 20 pizzas.

[@edson_sossai]

@@Chitariohi rage and thank you for the explanation. I believe the polish is a simple way to understand whether you use 300/300 or 200/200 but what I am confused is when the time to use it for the dough how much more flour/water/salt ratio to use. Some of his videos of the 300/300 he made the fight with 400 water / 700 flour and then another 700 water / 1250 flour so how to come up with this ratio of water and flour and salt for your dough using the polish is my question.

Hi Vito, I watched some of your Videos, and the receipt for the poolish is sometimes a little different. I've seen: 300g of flour + 300g water + 5g yeast + 5g honey. Now this one with 3g yeast + 3g honey. And there was also the Version with 400g flour + 400g water with 5g yeast and 5g honey. Which one is the right one?

[@petter9078]

I use 300 300 5 5 one, it works for me so fae

[@cohoanglervancouverwa6755]

They’re all correct. The flour/water ratio should be 1:1 (all your examples are 1:1). Add a pinch of sugar (or honey) and a dash (or two) of yeast. Mix. Let it ferment overnight. Or longer. I’ve let it go for several days before I got around to making the dough. Some bakers don’t add sugar at all. They just use All Purpose flour, which usually has malted barley flour added in small amounts. This provides the sugar (malt sugar, also known as maltose) that the yeast needs. Check the ingredients in your AP flour. Should have malted barley. Conversely, Bread flour usually doesn’t have malted barley.

Hi Vito. When I make my poolish, using 00 flour, I find it not as liquid as yours. after mixing the flour, water, yeast and honey, it's very difficult to mix together. Is it because of the 00 flour? thanks! love your channel by the way!

[@simmy_star]

Just guessing because I had the same issue... He is saying "miligrams" for water and "grams" for flour, so I guessed he means "mililiters" for water because liquids are usually messured in mililiters and liters in Europe. But he scaled 300 "grams" so I guessed this is a mistake in the video. 300ml is not he same as 300g when you mesure water. So just add 300 grams of 00 flour to 300 grams of water and you should be fine. That's what fixed it for me.

So no olive oil in the dough? I noticed you don't use it. Is there a reason? I love your channel and I love to learn as much as I can. Thank you for being so warm and inviting.

Hi Vito Here you say poolish is only good up to 24 hours, but in another video you tested 7 days of fermentation - can you explain? :)

poolish makes big difference in making good pizza soft and crunchy I enjoy watching your chanal

[@lluviasuperacida]

Dear Vito, your videos are splendid. One question: here in Argentina we have quite poor quality flours (4.5 gr of protein), what amount of yeast do you recommend to make the polish? Thank you. A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires.

[@dannytomkins3929]

I would like to have seen the next step of using it with the correct amount of flour needed to make pizza with 300x300 poolish. Also I was told to always use 00 flour in pizza

[@MsLuisbarbosa]

which flower do you use for the poolish? Thanks.. Just started making my own pizza... exciting.. awesome chanel! Congrats

[@JefeDog]

I got your Poolish recipe from another channel where you were teaching a fellow KZbinr how to make Neapolitan style pizza. In that recipe, you called for 200g water/flour, and 5g yeast/honey. My poolish was in a container half full, and in the hour, it rose so much it popped off the lid. I put it in an even bigger container, more than four times the size of the amount of poolish, and the next morning, it's lid was popped off in the fridge, and it was oozing out! Is that normal or did I do something wrong? Thanks!

[@KatriBeats]

I noticed he changes the ratio of yeast to flour in some of his poolish recipes. You probably should use a little less yeast, I find 1 gram yeast per 100grams flour works well. And make sure the poolish before rising only takes up about a quarter of the container

[@vincentlabruzzo5368]

@vito iacopelli you always just say dry yeast. Instant or active? Thanks!

[@MasterMaster584]

Thank you so much Vito for sharing with us the way you make your great pizza! Just finished prepping my first poolish for tomorrow and I'm about to make myself some pasta for today! :D

[@nicoquebec]

Hi thanks for sharing. What video should i watch to make pizza dough using this poolish please?

[@michaelbarton5169]

Love your videos! Qn: So, you do a pre-fermentation with the poolish and use dry or fresh yeast. But would you ever use a madre like they do when making baguette? I haven't tried it, but was wondering what a professional's opinion would be. I'm wondering if the sour dough flavour would add or detract from the pizza.

[@deek3015]

Sour dough has TONS of flavor....but it's "person specific"....our family LOVES it

[@mixerzar]

Hi, I need an advise please! I prepare and leave it on the counter (20-21 c) then forgot to put it in the fridge 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m out now I won’t get back untill late so the time is about 12 hours on the counter then I have to put in the fridge for another 12 hours for the next day to make the dough. Is the poolish still can be use or I need to make another one?

[@gbowes9455]

Measurements for two twelve inch pizzas. Poolish - 3 oz water - 1/2 tsp yeast - 1 tsp honey - 1 cup flour Dough - 7 oz water - 3 cups flour - 4 1/2 tsp salt Follow Vito’s instructions using above measurements for two 12 inch pizzas.

[@bi7259]

I personally do not recommend volume measurements for baking. Go with weight measurements. Volume measurements are really dependant on the ingredients being used, your technique, and aren't as precise as weight (which is why Vito gives most, if not all, of his measurements in g/kg). For example, one person may pack their flour into their measuring spoon a lot more than another. This would technically mean they have "x cup(s)" of flour; however, since it's more densely packed, the weight of the flour would be higher than someone who doesn't pack the flour as much. There's too much room for deviations in volume measurements. Bakers math takes this into account and incorporates weight measurements exclusively.

[@rymic72]

You’ll get much more consistent results regardless of flour type if you go by weight rather than volume. Kitchen scales are quite inexpensive.

[@chippsterstephens6800]

Would be nice to see a video on flours and the numbers of different flours, and why you use what you use my friend.

[@lucianogaita1310]

Since it’s for beginners it would have been helpful to explain how much additional flour water and salt to add for the final dough And how long to ferment it for. I see poolish recipes that don’t add additional water. So I don’t know any more than I did before Watching this video. Making the poolish is the easy part and it could have been explained in less than a minute.

[@vitoiacopelli]

That’s why I linked the full dough video Or it would be to long

I see you keep changing your recipe for the Poolish which is it 5 g or 3 g of yeast and honey your other video says 5 g of honey and yeast in this video says 3g honey in East with 300 g of flour and water can you give us a direct recipe?

Doesn’t matter much. If its cold i might use 5g and 3g for summer

What flour/poolish ratio do you use for make a pizza dough?

[@keithbrookshire]

You told us to add the rest of the flour and salt after 16-24 hours but you didn't tell us how much to add.

[@ralphvandendijck8128]

Vito, thank you again for a wonderful video. But I have to ask you, why do you use in this video only 3gr of dry yeast en and 3gr of honey. While in all other of your polish video you do it with 5gr of yeast and 5gr of honey?

thought for the yeast to activate properly the water needed to be around 110 - 120 for dry yeast ? cold or tap water will work? been working on pizza dough for months, trying different methods, I enjoy your enthusiastic approach, and thanks so much for all the tips and tricks

Hi Vito, I'm making my pizza as you said but not sure if you use all tippo00 for pizza or do 1/2 bread flour and 1/2 tippo00. (Also can't find that gl. U recommend zi do have Caputo Antimo 00 is this ok? Also do u know how to "SFINCIINE" PIZZA

[@nikolaspatentalakis7328]

For anyone still looking for help on the additional flour: Poolish 300 grams Flour + 300 grams + 3 grams honey + 3 grams yeast Pizza Start with 70% hydration in your mind. If you need 1kg dough, then: Just add 290 grams of flour and 110 ml of water to your Poolish (starting with 300 grams of flour and 300 ml of water like Vito does) This maintains a 70% hydration For the math: 1 kg dough = your flour weight + 0.7 of your flour weight (in water) 1 kg dough = 1.7 x weight Weight = 0.59 SO: 1 kg dough = 0.59 flour + 0.7*0.59 water 1 kg dough = 590 grams flour + 410ml water

[@timgreencorn7459]

I get it all. I just need the recipe. As for confusing posts here if I scroll down is there a simple recipe or how much ingredients for dough do I make with this quantity of poolish?

Anxious to try this! When you say “This amount of polish is good up to 2 liters of water/ 20 Pizzas…” what do you mean by that?
