In Depth Understanding Poolish % For Pizza Dough

[@vitoiacopelli]

Tell me here the % you use for your dough?

[@railasvuo]

What is the best poolish %? I use 70% hydration and 40% poolish

[@JonCausithONS]

The longest time I’ve been following the 30% poolish recipe, though I have experimented with less and even more poolish. Thank you so much for sharing not only the differences in timing when using the pre-fermented yeast for the dough, but also giving a clear ratio of water and flour! (100ml to 145g)

My pizzas have really improved since I started using your recipes, especially the poolish one for the household that makes up to 10 pizzas. We even had a pizza party for my daughter's birthday and her friends loved it! I made the dough over 3 days and the children stretched them out and added their own toppings. They were amazing! 🍕😀

[@rsingh2083]

Hi liz, I'll be making my first pizza for my son tomorrow noon. But my poolish is past 24 hours in the fridge now. Will the poolish be good after 24 + 12 more hours in the fridge ?

[@lizbuckland4163]

@@rsingh2083 You could certainly give it a go, but check the bottom if it's in clear tub or bowl. If there are little creamy strands either visible underneath or at the bottom of it then it will sadly need throwing away. That I think is some kind of mould. That's what happened when I tried a 48hr stiffer style of pre-ferment, I can't remember the name of it unfortunately (memory problems since I had a stroke). I have used the made up dough on the second day after mit being ready though and that was fine. Both times I had it in the fridge. On the second day after it being ready it was less poofy as the dough had run out of food in the flour etc and it was a little more sour but not too much considering... The best person to ask is Vito himself, he is the maestro! 🙂 🍕

Thank you for yet another great lesson. I have been making pizza dough for the last 7 years about every 6 weeks, we have been satisfied and enjoying the results. Watching you reminds me that I simply don’t have enough experience handling the dough, if it’s sticky it causes me stress but makes a good pizza, if it’s less sticky I’m less stressed and it makes a good pizza. I have a lot of work to do. caio

Poolish is one of those things I felt like I didn't know anything about so I didn't even know what questions to ask first. This was so helpful and taught me a lot. Thanks!

[@mehmetozhabes6996]

The poolish percentages are a bit inconsistent. The 100% refers to the percent of water in the total dough coming from the poolish (300ml/300ml), but the 20% refers to the percent of water coming from poolish relative to the water added to the poolish (50ml/250ml). Vito, I learned a lot from you and I admire your enthusiasm. Thanks so much.

[@frederickschenk6854]

I just asked this question above. I looked and looked and couldn't figure out what was 20%. Thank you.

[@mactiin]

But 50ml is not 20 % of total 300 of water in the dough, it's 16.(6)

[@JustPhil]

yes, .....in reality that must be around 16.65% poolish :)

[@sfstucco]

Ahhh, you found more holes in my (/our collective) understanding, Vito! And you plugged the holes! 😆 Molte Grazie! Notes to self: 1. In final product (texture, air, flavor, etc.), 100% poolish = 20% Poolish. 2 . 20% poolish > 100% poolish in TIME needed to ferment before baking. The 20% requires more time in the fermentation stage to rise up to ~doubled size. 100% poolish takes less time before it’s ready to cook. 3. In warmer weather, use 20% Poolish. In colder ambient temps, use 100% Poolish.

[@wallmachine8780]

[@xmas4203]

I generally use 20% to 30% poolish. Then I cold ferment the balls a minimum of 24 hours. I often use one dough ball the same day and it's good. But I think the cold fermented dough tastes better and easier to manage. Any dough that doesn't get used by 72 hours is frozen and used later for rolls or baguettes. It's "my" workflow and I've gotten it down pretty good.

So easy to handle, a lot easier to stretch even if I'm not experienced and I cooked for the first time in a little Ooni wood fired oven. And managed not to get any of the pizzas stuck to the stone.

Vito, some questions about conserving the poolish in the freezer (in case of changing plans for whatever reason) - Would you put the poolish only in the freezer? - Would you mix the flour with the poolish and then in the freezer? - Would you let the mixture proof and then put in the freezer? - How would you "wake up" the mixture after removing it from the freezer? - Does it have an effect on the taste? - Would it kill the yeast? - Are some yeast freezer resistant?

Hey Vito, just to make things easy, the percentage you talk about is the percentage of water coming from the poolish: 100% poolish, all the water comes from the poolish, we don't add water as you said. But 50/300 is not 20%, it's nearly 16.7% poolish for you lower poolish version :)

This comment helped me alot to understand what Vito is talking about. My recipe is 190 water in my poolish and rest of the dough is 220 (total 410ml water). So it means that (190/410 ) im using 46% poolish right?

Hello Vito thanks for your video, I am a bit confused regarding the 20%, you took 0.2 out of the 600gr poolish, shouldnt the 20% poolish be out of the total dough weight? Which as you mentioned 100gr poolish, 385gr flour, 250gr water, this doesnt make poolish a 20% out of total dough Shouldnt it be 147gr poolish? (145×3 + 300=735×0.2=147gr) Id appreciate a further explaination, thanks

[@johnlithgow968]

Actually your math is sound Adam. His polish percentage was more like 16.67%. Perhaps he was just going with easier numbers or he just didn’t realize when making the video. It still equaled the amounts needed to make his dough balls. His would take longer to rise than a 20% poolish is all. Probably not much longer. Important to note that this recipe is for pizza dough that is 70% hydration. Which is his ideal hydration for his pizzas. In a home over that will give a lighter and airy crust.

[@wallmachine8780]

@@johnlithgow968 do you know what vito is calculating the honey off of? is it total water or poolish water? also do you know what he calculates yeast off of? is it total water or poolish water? and finally in the master class vito says 2g dry yeast and 6g fresh yeast, does yeast double every 5000ml poolish water? so 1 to 4999ml = 2g dry yeast then 5000 to 9999ml = 4g dry yeast and 10000ml = 6g dry yeast?

[@sarahgeraceunitedmartialar5709]

Ok, so, the process for the 20% poolish makes perfect sense; although, I do not understand where the actual figures of 100 come from. 20% of 300 is 60 x 2 = 120. Notwithstanding the numbers, this method conforms to what we’ve been taught in class. The 100% poolish, on the other hand, would need a much more thorough and detailed explanation with written examples, though. As an editor, I recommend that when demonstrating these problems, you have the figure against which the poolish percentage is calculated be clearly written out and identified as such, so people can easily follow along and see exactly where these numbers are coming from. I mean, I’ve received lots of formal culinary training across the disciplines, and I find following these poolish discussions very difficult, to say the least. I am never quite sure what the reference numbers are of these percentages because they’re not clearly written out as the reference numbers for the percentages discussed. For example, 20% of the water of 300ml is 60ml. Then this is multiplied by two to give us 120, etc. One thing that really confuses (and bothers) me about the entirety of the poolish instruction is if so many people ask about this question, as Vito mentions and as I know is true, then why not really drill down into this question and give it the exhaustive treatment it deserves ? The absence of this is in part the cause of the confusion. There should be plenty of explanations, descriptions, and illustrations of the process of properly deriving a poolish. This process deserves a clear and thorough exposition-all in clearly written and illustrated form. I took the class, took meticulous notes, and have made some incredible pizzas, but, even given this, I do not understand what was done with that 100% formula and I’m not clear on where the 20% poolish numbers come from, even though the 20% process was right on. I do not think this area, so important to making this type of pizza, has been properly explained at all, and it was but briefly touched upon in the class. This is a sticky issue, no pun, and must be properly dealt with by adding new material and explanations with clearly written demonstrations to the class, so there will be no question whatsoever, especially among master class graduates, about how this is done. Why not proudly show off that class by the competence and depth of knowledge of its graduates, people who you’d want to be able to confidently, as master class graduates, go up against anyone in the business with this training? C’mon, now. There couldn’t be any better advertising than that!

Can someone explain how 100g of poolish is 20%? What calculations? Shouldn’t it be 150g poolish for a 750g total amount of the dough?

[@xWarlanx]

The %poolish is relative to the max amount of Poolish your total recipe can accept. So for a given total amount of dough, if the water total is 400ml and you make a Poolish with 400ml and 400 flour your Poolish is 100%. You would add 180g flour at end. If you use only 100ml water and 100g flour that would be 25% Poolish. You would add 480g flour at the end. I didn't include yeast and salt amounts but hopefully you get the idea.

[@xWarlanx]

He's using a 17% poolish. 50ml from Poolish vs total water (300ml) is ~17%, not 20%. It doesn't really matter. As he said it just changes how fast it grows.

[@braddixon3338]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and I can say you have come a long ways in producing high quality material. This was an outstanding video. I was under the impression that poolish would affect taste, and hence more poolish would taste different/better. Guess I was wrong, thanks for clearing that up! I did find that poolish made my dough stickier than a direct dough, given the same hydration level. Perhaps you can comment on that?

[@genevievelaflamme3441]

20% of 300 is 60... I don't understand where you took your 50 g of water and why?

[@bastianmesters8136]

The 20% poolish is calculated as follows: - For every 100ml of water there is 145g of flour. The amount of poolish refers to the amount of water and flour. 100+145=245 245÷100×20= 49 The poolish therefore is made from 50g of water and flour.

[@wesnoble510]

I would maybe disagree that your 100% poolish dough wasn’t 100%. Why assume the total amount water is the master? Your total amount flour was 435 and your poolish was 300 flour. So to me that is 69% poolish. No? Also I think the different amounts change the texture quite a lot. Not sure but I think it’s at least partially because of the total time at room temperature that the flour is exposed to active enzymes. Would like to dig into this deeper though.

[@carezzato]

O poolish é feito com 100% de hidratação, enquanto que a massa final tem 69%. Logo, foi necessário colocar mais 135g de farinha para ajustar a hidratação da massa. Está correto o que foi feito, 100% + água para a correção da hidratação final de 69%

[@DragonfruitTreasures]

The calculation is so confusing

[@MeisterVasqus]

I think so aswell, I like to do it like this: I start with how much flour I want to use lets say 1kg and 70% hydration. Poolish is 100% hydration so 700g flour + 700g water (yeast honey ofc) and after cold fermentation just add 300g of flour and you end with 70% hydration. Other example: 500g flour X 0.7 (hydration) = 350 of total water. So 500-350=150 -> 350water with 350 flour for poolish then after cold fermentation add 150g of flour to end up with 70% hydration. Reading my own comment makes it seem confusing as well but in my head it makes total sense 😂

[@danflick6669]

Your comment makes sense. I can understand in terms of hydration and calculating fractions. In the video, The 145 grams of flour per 100 grams of poolish he stated seemed simple until talking about poolish % and my mind went totally blank. Im probably just gonna use a pizza calculator 😂

@MeisterVasqus 😅yes when you do it many times it seems easy but to someone else it could seem difficult.

Thankyou for all the Vlogs on how to prepare Pizza 👍. Watching your Vlogs motivates me to Enter into the Kitchen and COOK for myself either a Breakfast 🥞, Lunch or Dinner which consists of 🌮 Flat Bread from homemade and handmade Dough 😊

[@gaiustesla9324]

This is the real deal!!!!! Thank you very much! 100% poolish recipe makes the best dough ive ever made.

[@lee-he3ey]

Love your content Vito, in the last 2 years my pizza has improved massively and all down to your channel. Fantastic work, keep it up fella

[@davidapp3730]

Thank you for that video. Your videos have changed the way I make my pizza. They are so much better now with your dough recipe. I can work the dough and get a consistent result.

[@vaimister]

Hello! I really enjoy your videos-thank you for your hard work. I tried to make a dough using the recipe from this video with 100% poolish, but I struggled with it. The dough became too sticky, and I couldn't fix it using your tips from the video "How to Prevent Pizza Dough from Getting Sticky." Could you recommend some specific videos from your channel that might help me? I'm a complete beginner when it comes to working with dough. Thank you!

[@michaellawcobb2693]

You’ve taught me so much, thank you. The Italian side of my family are impressed by my ability to make great pizza.

[@maheshvspillai]

This remains my favorite among all of your other videos. This is a great reference. Do you have any tips on the temperature and timing for the home oven? Appreciate your input

[@imbykji]

Been following for 6 years, and I am happy to be able to make pizzas I love. I still wear the tshirt from your shop. Love and pizza!

[@MaverickM1]

[@jhoffpsu]

I always use polish and almost always use double fermentation!! So glad I took the master class!!! Invest in yourself for the love of pizza!!

[@paolapreciadopdx]

I made pizza for first time using your recipe for at home oven and wow. I have been trying to make the Neapolitan pizza since I visit Napoli and this is the first time I am closed to getting to the pizza I want to make. TY so much

[@yradierruizmalave737]

Thank you chef! Thank you, Maestro Iacopelli, your videos have helped me to improve my skills a thousandfold! Thank you very much!

[@Surfpigglet]

Hey Vito, because of your videos, my pizzas became much better over the past year since I've been following your channel...even made a custom gas pizza oven out of weber kettle grill, now I'm in a process of designing my own, thanks for the inspiration!

[@PatrickAndrewCameron]

Thanks dude, I''ve been making pizzas for the past few days with my stepson, following your channel and instructions. We don't have the proper oven, just a little microwave sized sandwich / rotisserie oven, and a frypan to make the base hard enough to put on some wire grill shelves in the little oven... lol.. in Vietnam, so an aluminium tray for the oven is hard to find... lol

[@gianmariaferrato2509]

Bravo Vito, chiarezza e trasparenza sono i caratteri che ti contraddistinguono. Io ti seguo sempre dall' Italia 😊

[@danielfischberg2660]

Thanks!

[@SBoots29]

After installing my wood fired pizza oven I struggled with the dough. Your instructions have greatly improved my products I now do when I have pizza parties. I struggled with Hydration of the dough. Some high some low. I'm always learning. That Vitto.

[@stopit4uca]

I've been watching you for many years your a true Pizza Master turning your subscribers into students.

[@makemyday1477]

How did I not see your channel before now? I subscribed because I don’t want to miss any of your videos. Thanks for sharing Vito , you’re a Pizza Master 😅

[@GuillermoDuran_RE]

Ever since I’ve watch one of your videos almost a year ago weekends are no pizza days and my son loves it!! Grazzie

[@tsouk80]

Thank you from Greece, I like the way you explain every step of the creation!

[@andriusjuc]

Tried to make pizza like Vito teach. Double fermented dough was amazing, just blew my mind. Big thank you Vito !

[@GaryNeuzil]

Thank you as always...your videos are helping me improve my home pizzas and you are very entertaining to listen to. I respect your passion for pizza...I recently retired from teaching and now I am the learner!

[@Spid88PL]

As a true Polish I use poolish almost every time I make pizza ;) Why? Because it's the best method! Thank you Vito!

[@focaseal3676]

All the energy Vito puts in makes it so much fun, in every video I learn something new. I loved the calculator.

[@wenke9289]

Your videos are amazing! Thanks Vito for sharing all of this. With poolish the Pizza always comes out perfect 👍 my most favorite recipe of all 1000 for Neapolitan style. greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@blenderbenderguy]

Wow, I wish I could flop the dough around on the bench like that! It's a beautiful thing to watch.

[@strodtkoetter_pizza_style]

Hello Vito, I say thank you ! I always learn something through your videos. Pizza is my great passion and thanks to you I have improved a lot. Many greetings from Cologne, Germany

[@КорвинЕйт]

Damn, god bless you Vito... No one explains such details exept you. My doug contains 20%-40% of poolish depending on the season

[@ignaciocerdena8023]

Amazing vito maestro. I always use 100% because i dont have a mixer machine and if we use 100% poolish we can get benefits of autólisis cold ferment, we get a strong structure with no knead machine

[@tysonmurdock2026]

Love this!! I’ll be trying 100% poolish this weekend!! I’m also looking for a pizza oven and am wondering which pizza oven you’re using in this video?

[@Shahrzad19798]

Your channel is the best way to learn how to become a pro home pizza making , thank you Vito , god bless your family

[@OneTruth620]

Hello. I enjoy your videos and your Charming personality. 1. Can you reveal the Franco Pepe's secret pizza dough recipe? 2. If you have 64% or higher hydration dough. How can you move the pizza from the counter to the pizza peel and from the pizza peel to the oven with no additional flour? Can you make a video about each question? Thanks.

[@NazrulIslam-ik3ej]

Dear Chef, I always like your videos. Especially your style of speaking and explaining. I will be a pizza expert like you. Of course you are my teacher.

[@andreysichkarenko447]

Vito, you are the best! With love from Russia! Thank you ❤❤❤

[@alejandro1924]

Dude, you are amazing. Again, your personality and calmness is second to none. Let alone your experience. I have a question, since I’m using 20% of poolish, how long can I save in the refrigerator for other batches? Second, is this poolish strictly for pizza? Do you use it with your other breads or change the recipe? Thanks again

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

Its been 14 years already!? Ive been watching you stuff since the beginning but I never thought its been going on for so long.
