📒How To Make Biga Starter For Pizza Dough📒
Wondering how to make a biga preferment without having a dough mixer? In this video from Food Talks, you will learn how to make a biga starter for perfect home pizza. The best part about this recipe is that you don’t need a dough mixer and everything is done by hand with no kneading required. This video shows you only the biga preferment recipe. Then, you need to add the biga starter to the rest of the pizza dough recipe ingredients.

Biga Preferment Ingredients:
1/16th tsp 0.2g instant dry yeast
250 gr type 00 flour
125gr water at 27c

Biga method:
We use a pizza tray with a lid as this is the easiest way to prepare the biga.
1. Add yeast to the flour and then add water slowly.
2. Lightly mix the ingredients together. ( no need to knead)
3. Close the tray lid and shake the tray ., this will help the flour hydrate and create the biga.
4. Continue mixing with your hands making sure all the flour is integrated with the water.
5. Make sure not to press on the biga, you want the dough to stay loose and in small pieces.
6. Once all is integrated, cover and let rest at room temp for 12 hrs.
7. After 12hrs the biga is ready to be used.
We will launch another video showing how to make the final dough from the biga.
