Description

Preparing the biga at home is an art that I have learned over time, and I must say that the results are always exceptional! This pre-ferment, rich in aromas and flavors, is the ideal base for obtaining soft and fragrant leavened products. Its preparation is very simple and requires very few ingredients: flour, water and fresh yeast. The magic lies in the long leavening, which can last from 18 to 48 hours. I often use it for pizza, but it is also perfect for bread and focaccia. Try it, you won't regret it!
