Made a Cheese pizza using a recipe/formula using the Nait (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) baking formula book. Super easy to make. amazing flavor and great texture.
This cheese pizza is a bit different though on how its made. it has a overnight Biga preferment in it, to find out more on what a preferment is, go too http://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/preferments.html
Here is the formula in weight
- -All purpose flour 175g
- -Water 122g -salt 4g
- -fresh yeast is 3g (if you do not have it. multiply 3x 0.4. that will give you fresh yeast too dry yeast sumstitute. so it will be 1.2g dry yeast
- -Olive oil 11g
- biga preferment 70g
- Preferment
- All purpose flour 44g
- h20 26g
- fresh yeast 1g
This gives you a total weight of 385g.
Steps on how to make this greatness
