How long before you make your pizza dough?

Waiting for my fresh mozzarella to be delivered before I can make again 🥲

[@bravovictor1922]

I just made my first batch of dough two days ago after watching many of your amazing videos. Why am I so late to discovering you!? The dough came out great and now I have two fresh ready to bake tonight and the fridge. Thank you!

A day before ATLEAST!.. I have to say THANKYOU!! For years I have been fighting my dough, can’t get it off the peel.. thanks to your help.. I have been successful, building my confidence.. adding Rosemary, basil, red pepper and olive oil to my dough… I normally cook on a stone on my grill…This week I received my Ooni 16 pro… can’t wait to get some pies in it…

[@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)?

[@johngardner7065]

@@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.

Hello Vito, now I understand my mistakes better.

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?

Thank you for the breakdown! I used sourdough starter for my dough. What would you say the expected differences would be? The starter is very active. Came out pretty good, especially for my first time Edit: frozen doughs didn't rise:(

[@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!

I did a test today making 2 lots of poolish, using caputo 00 red flour and Caputo dry yeast, and the 2nd using Allison's Easy Bake dry yeast. After 1 hour the the Allison's poolish had doubled in size, but for the caputo, it took over 4 hours to double in size.

[@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)

@@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. Don't forget the 15 gr of salt as well. Hope that makes sense.

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.

@@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.

You've done well Vito 👏 Grazie

Hello Vito, my name's Bee - i'm from Laos the country with border close to Thailand. I like ur VDOs teaching how to make pizza dough. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more and more 🙏👍🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦

[@dusanandrijasevic6593]

How much poolish do you prepare for different amount of dough,example,one day you want to prepaire 3 kilos of dough and another day you want to prepaire 10 kilos of dough,do you prepaire the same amount of poolish for this to doughs?Thanks Vito for everything,you are the best.

[@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 :)

Thank you for your knowledge! I love pizza and want to start making my own and I hope to one day own my own pizza shop.

[@Slayer4tw]

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.

[@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

[@freedombuild4386]

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?

Vito, you are a true legend. Thankyou for your channel and your enthusiasm. Every Pizza lover should subscribe. Can you please tell me at what stage could I freeze these dough balls, and the best way to defrost then etc. I’m new to this and need a little help

[@mariakyriacou7131]

Hi Vito, please could you give us exact ingreds for approx 4/6 pizzas for one shot of the recipe and im not quite sure about how much to use both in the poolish and pizza recipe for this attempt, thanks a lot you're brilliant both as a professional and personality...love watching your videos.

[@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.

[@oro5z]

I'm confused, Do you need 300 gms of water or 300 mL of water???? Recipe says one thing and Vito says another in the video. Help!!!
