FAQs about Did anyone do Abel's 90% Biga using Sourdough Starter? Coupon?

Can I use sourdough to make a biga?

Yes, you can use sourdough to make a biga. Use as directed for the biga in your favorite Italian bread recipe or in the Chewy Italian Bread recipe #176167. Start this the afternoon before you'll be baking the bread. ...

Can I substitute a sourdough starter for a biga?

It depends on whether the recipe relies only on the sourdough starter for leavening, or if it also includes commercial yeast. If it relies on the starter for leavening, you cannot substitute a biga or poolish, as they will not provide sufficient leavening power (even if the biga contains a small amount of yeast). ...

Can I substitute a biga for a starter?

If, however, you find a recipe that uses both a starter and commercial yeast, you can substitute a biga or poolish with a similar hydration level for the starter. I'd recommend a biga with a touch of yeast to provide leavening like the starter would provide. ...

How do you make a biga sourdough dough?

Biga: 990 strong flour (bread flour or Farina 1, or T80 wheat stoneground flour) + 445 ml water + 3,3 instant yeast or 99 grams of sourdough. Final dough: All the biga + 10 grams flour + the rest of water we want + 20 gr salt. If you want to learn more about biga, I suggest you to follow italian bakers like Ezio Marinato. ...

How long does a biga last in the fridge?

Cover and allow to ferment for 24 hours in the refrigerator before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To use, rinse a measuring cup in cool water, scoop out the amount of starter needed, and bring to room temperature. A biga, or 'starter', adds flavor and extra leavening power to bread dough. ...

Can I use a poolish instead of a sourdough starter?

Yes, you can. A biga or poolish is pretty similar to a sourdough starter, especially if the hydration is the same, and from what I've heard it is a 1-to-1 substitution. ...
