[@coletteaverill9542]

This was perfection! I left my poolish on the counter overnight for 12 hrs, then ran it with the dough hook on my KitchenAid for 25 minutes. Followed the recipe exactly. 1 minute on pizza stone at the bottom of oven, heated to 500F, pulled out, put toppings on then under the highest broiler setting for 1 min 15 seconds. I made my dough balls 240 grams which made a generous 1 person pizza. I got 5 balls and a good size loaf of bread which was absolutely delicious. This dough stretched beautifully and was very tender with lots of air bubbles.

This is so far the best video I have seen on poolish pizza. I want to use 100% whole wheat for pizza. My oven reaches 230 degrees Celsius max. How to modify your recipe for making a whole wheat neopolitan style pizza with poolish? Thank you so much for this education.

[@angelogiannino369]

Thank you so much mate. Unfortunately you cannot use 100% whole wheat flour for pizza but for sure you can do a nice mix. So 30% of whole wheat flour and 70% of all purpose flour. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@georgepagakis9854]

Hi Angelo, When you make the poolish first step, you say to leave it at room temperature for 12 hours. What should the room temperature be for the amount of yeast you are using? You never mentioned it. Is it like Biga where you have to have 18-20C? TAlso if I wanted to freeze the dough for later use, Do I have to let it rise and then freeze or should I freeze it as soon as I make the balls? hank you so much for your great tutorials :)

[@angelogiannino369]

Hi George thank you. Room temperature has to be below 18*C with 1g of fresh yeast per kg flour. Otherwise inside the fridge. IYou can freeze the pizza ball if you like but before the rising. Have a good day

Yea mate, you can, but you've got to do it immediately as soon as the final mixture is compleated. Do not wait until the doughs rise...Then either put them in individual little plastic box with a lid on, or cling film wrap them. Then when you want to use them, get them out of the freezer, and live at room temperature for, (probably 10, 12 hours) the extra time is of course needed to defrost them first, then the rest of the time is needed for rising to twice the size. Ciao..Hope it helps.
