Selected flour

Flour from the Flour Atlas

Changing flour does not automatically change hydration or fermentation time. Adjust water absorption to the flour and recipe.

Yeast type

When changing type, enter the dose using the manufacturer’s guidance. Fresh and dried yeast are not gram-for-gram substitutes. Sourdough requires a separate formula.

Ice weight (g)

410.6 g water + 0.0 g ice = 410.6 g

This is a mass balance, not a temperature calculator. Ice replaces recipe water. Use only with mixers suitable for ice and follow their instructions.

Give your dough time.

Dough schedule

25 h 30 min before baking

Mix the biga

Combine preferment ingredients into rough clumps with no dry flour. Rest loosely covered.

22 °C

23 h 30 min before baking

Refrigerate the biga

Cold maturation. Fridge temperature is not the dough's instantaneous core temperature.

4 °C

3 h 30 min before baking

Warm the biga

Remove and break into pieces for the final mix.

22 °C

2 h 30 min before baking

Mix and knead

For direct dough use all ingredients now. Otherwise add only the final-stage column to the ripe preferment. Knead smooth without overheating.

2 h before baking

Bulk rest

Rest covered until the dough starts to relax.

22 °C

1 h before baking

Ball and proof

4 balls · 260.0 g/ball. Weigh, gently shape and rest covered.

22 °C

Bake

Stretch and bake

Preheat your oven and adjust temperature and baking time to its capabilities.

Bake time

Dough school · techniques

Dough school · by hand and mixer

A good dough schedule is more than a clock. Choose a technique and learn what to look for in the dough.

Kneading

Combine at low speed first. Mixer and batch size affect heating: measure the dough temperature instead of relying only on minutes. Look for smooth, elastic dough; let it rest if it tears.

Fermentation methods

Direct

One dough, without a preferment. Plan bulk and balled fermentation separately.

Poolish

A yeasted preferment with equal flour and water weights: 100% hydration. Include both in the total formula.

Biga

Often a stiff, shaggy preferment for pizza. Hydration and maturation depend on the recipe; it is not just a longer poolish.

Sourdough · lievito madre

A living culture with its own hydration and feeding schedule. No simple baker’s yeast conversion applies. Dried sourdough powder is not necessarily active.

Cold fermentation is a temperature strategy; folding is a mechanical technique. Times are templates: yeast dose, flour and actual temperature all matter.
