Is poolish good for pizza?
Pizza Dough with Poolish is an easy way to create not only a much deeper flavor profile, but also improved texture, better extensibility and structure. This sponge like pre-ferment is a great way to reduce the yeast by half, thus making it more digestible.
What percentage of pizza dough should be poolish?
Experiment with adding poolish at 50 percent of total flour weight and modify from there. Poolish is very active, so you can reduce your yeast by half. Some pizza makers choose to add no additional yeast at all. Incorporate poolish by stirring it into the water before adding flour.

Can you put poolish in the fridge?
