Roman Pizza Style In The Pan
  1. Pour the cold water into a pitcher or glass.

  2. Dissolve the fresh yeast in the cold water, stirring until completely dissolved.

  3. In a large bowl, add the strong flour.

  4. Pour the yeast-water solution over the flour.

  5. Mix with a fork until the ingredients are just incorporated and a rough, shaggy dough forms.

  6. Transfer the dough to a non-airtight container, ensuring the lid allows air to pass through.

  7. Let the biga rest at 18°C overnight for 18-20 hours.

  8. Transfer the fermented biga into the bowl of a stand mixer.

  9. Add the medium strength flour, malt, and a portion of the cold water.

  10. Use the dough hook attachment and start the mixer at low speed.

  11. Gradually add the remaining water.

  12. Let the ingredients knead until well incorporated and a smooth, elastic dough forms.

  13. Gradually increase the speed, but be careful not to overheat the dough; check the temperature with a thermometer.

  14. Add the salt and continue kneading at medium speed for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  15. Transfer the dough onto a work surface.

  16. Perform folds on the dough to reinforce it without overworking it, folding it onto itself.

  17. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

  18. Give it another reinforcement fold and place the dough in a greased container.

  19. Let the dough proof at around 26°C for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  20. Once the resting time is over, shape the dough into an elongated loaf without making it too tight.

  21. Place the loaf in a greased container and let it proof at around 26°C until doubled in size.

  22. When the dough has proofed, stretch the pizza by hand using plenty of semolina.

  23. Transfer the stretched pizza onto a 30×40 cm (approximately 12×16 inches) iron pan.

  24. Bake the pizza in the bottom of a preheated oven at 250°C (482°F).

  25. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the surface is golden and crispy.

  26. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
