70% Hydration Pizza Ingredients:
700g water (lukewarm)
1kg of flour (with 11 to 14% protein)
1.2g instant dry yeast
20g salt

60% Hydration Pizza Ingredients:
600g water (lukewarm)
1kg of flour (with 11 to 14% protein)
1.2g instant dry yeast
20g salt

Poolish:
In a bowl add 350g (35%) of your flour, 0.2g of yeast and 350g of water (same amount as your flour). Mix until all the flour is hydrated, let it rest for 1 hour before placing in your fridge for 16 to 24 hours.

Dough:
After 16-24 hours take out the Poolish and add in the rest of the water, yeast, flour and all the salt.
You can either mix the dough with an electric mixer or by hand. Mix until the dough becomes smooth and elastic and springs back when poked (if using an electric mixer less than 600 watts, mix the dough in small batches so as not to burn out the motor).
Let the dough rest in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 2 hours. Then divide the dough into 250g to 280g dough balls, not forgetting to pinch the bottoms closed. Let it rest for 30 mins before stretching into pizzas.

Cook as described in the video depending on your cooking method.

Keep practicing, and explore everything there is to know about pizzas. Slice, enjoy and happy cooking!
