Introduction
Preferment are one of the subjects that causes the most confusion among pizza makers. There are several traditional methods for creating preferments. Preferments usually consist of a simple mixture of flour, water, and leaving agent. Still, they are crucial for the best-tasting crust and halve the long fermentation, improving daily operations in a pizzeria.
With the use of preferment like biga and poolish, we can develop enzymes inside the pizza dough in a shorter amount of time, enhancing the digestibility and flavor of the dough.
The difference between making a pizza with a preferment or without, using a direct method, is that the flavor and texture are almost impossible to achieve with others leavening methods.
Pizza Chef Giulio Adriani will teach the correct use of preferment like biga and poolish and how they can improve the digestibility of any type of pizza, Neapolitan, Pan pizza, or New York-style and he will cover all these 3 styles.
You will receive:
- Pizza University Certificate
- Apron
- Chef’s Jacket
- Swag Bag
The class will consist of both theory and hands-on guide practice.
