Getting the fermentation right

The yeast percentage here (0.2–0.5% instant) assumes a slow room-temperature ferment, which is where pizza flavour comes from. If you need dough in 2–3 hours, raise the yeast to about 1%. If you're cold-fermenting in the fridge for 2–3 days, you can drop as low as 0.1%. Using fresh yeast instead? Multiply the yeast amount by 3 — or use our yeast converter.
