    Recipe

    Poolish doses
    Flour: 91 g
    Water:91 g
    ADY: 0.35 g
    Honey .5 g
    Main dough doses
    Flour: 91 g
    Water: 31 g
    Salt: 4.9 g
    Poolish
    Combine water, yeast and honey together in mixing container
    Mix in flour real good. Cover and leave in RT for 1 hour and then place in fridge for 16-24 hours
    Main dough
    Combine poolish, water and stir to melt all in.
    Add salt and stir
    Stir in additional flour until the dough comes together and starts pulling from sides
    Dump on counter and start working dough. Dough will be very sticky
    To knead push away with heal of hand then fold it back over turn, 90 Degrees repeat. I use the dough scraper to help
    As it gets smoother, start slap and folds. As it stiffens, rest 15 min and do slap and folds again for a couple times.
    weigh out dough as needed. 250g – 270g for 12” small crust or if you want a larger pizza or larger cornicione leave the 310g dough ball
    Make nice tight dough ball(s) and store in covered container for another 48 hours. I like to use about a 6-7 inch plastic bowl.
    Dough should have raised in fridge about double.
    Take out of fridge 30 – 60 minutes before use.Hopefully the dough ball is holding a nice puffy pizza dough.
    Since it is high in hydration, I start stretching when dough temp is 60-65F. Anything higher then 70 will be hard to handle.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe! I tried it last night and had a few questions if you wouldn’t mind.
    First of all, I had to use fresh yeast since that’s all I had. I used an online converter that said that your amount of active dry yeast would end up to be .7g fresh yeast so that’s what I did.
    I made the dough the same way, balled it up and put the dough balls into my ooni stacks and into my 5C fridge.
    After almost 2 days, they did NOT rise at all.
    So I’ve put them out at room temp for about 4hrs the day of baking which had them rise and afterwards back into the fridge.
    When I ended up using the dough, I had the toughest time getting those dough balls out of their bowls and getting the dough stretched.
    Other than that, the pizza was great and probably the tastiest I had in a long time.

    I wonder though – any advice on the two issues mentioned above?
    Thanks!
