It&#8217;s my interpretation, crafted with the tools I have at home, so it might have some imperfections \ud83d\ude42 To prepare it, I use a preferment called biga, which gives the pizza a unique texture and flavor. However, I must warn you, this recipe takes time: from 22 to 24 hours between fermentation and proofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biga<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>280g strong Italian flour \u201ctipo 1\u201d (15% protein, W 380)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>130g cold water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2.8g fresh yeast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Instructions ( day 1. 09:00 pm)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pour the cold water into a pitcher or glass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dissolve the fresh yeast in the cold water, stirring until completely dissolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a large bowl, add the strong flour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the yeast-water solution over the flour. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix with a fork until the ingredients are just incorporated and a rough, shaggy dough forms.

You can place an empty pan on the bottom of the oven to give an extra boost of heat and make the pizza rise faster, or you can use a well-heated refractory stone. It greatly depends on your oven, so experiment to find the best settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the surface is golden and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can top the pizza with your favorite ingredients and put it back in the oven for a few minutes if desired.
