Hi, @egidijus-ralys
Biga is a preferment of Italian origin, it is composed of a mixture of water, flour and yeast, in a hydration proportion of approximately 45% to 60% and with 0.5% to 1% yeast.
A preferment is nothing more than a mixture of dough, in different proportions, that is made in advance, separately from the main dough and allowed to ferment on its own before being incorporated into the final dough.
It is added to the final dough in pieces to facilitate its integration.
We hope this information is helpful

Thank you. So, I need to make them both for good pizza, because only dough is not enough?

Hi, @egidijus-ralys
You can make just the pizza dough, but if you want better results and a richer flavor you can try dough+ biga.
It will take you a little more time but the result is worth it.

Hi, biga must be prepared first and you incorporate it into the dough. 🙂
