Common questions about pizza dough

Pizza dough with flour, tomato sauce and basil
How long does pizza dough need to rise?

That depends on the style, the amount of yeast and the temperature: anywhere from a few hours to several days in the fridge. The longer the dough rises, the less yeast it needs and the more flavorful and easier to digest it gets. PizzaApp Pro calculates the yeast for the time you have.

Can I let pizza dough rise overnight?

Yes, a dough that rests overnight or for 24 hours in the fridge is actually ideal. It needs much less yeast. The app calculates the yeast for the rise time and always shows you when your dough will be ready for the oven.

What does hydration mean for pizza dough?

Hydration is the ratio of water to flour. 65% hydration means 650 g of water for every 1 kg of flour. More water makes a lighter but stickier dough.

What is the difference between biga and poolish?

Both are pre-doughs you mix before the main dough. Biga is stiff and dry, poolish is liquid with as much water as flour. Both give the dough more flavor and structure.

Dry yeast or fresh yeast – which is better?

Both work just as well, you only need different amounts: use about a third as much instant dry yeast and about half as much active dry yeast as fresh yeast. The app converts it for you.

Can I freeze pizza dough?

Yes. Freeze the dough balls after shaping and let them thaw slowly before baking. The app builds this into the recipe: a little more yeast and a thawing step of its own in the schedule.

Do I need a pizza oven?

No. The app also calculates dough and bake time for a regular oven with a pizza stone or baking steel, and for the grill.
