The pizzas prepare Aperitif An Exceptional

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences. The leavening is intended as an increase in the volume of the dough given by yeast which fermenting produces carbon dioxide trapped in the gluten structure, fermentative action, unlike the maturation that corresponds to a set of processes not due to the dough, but that concerns the more complex structures, fatty starches and proteins which are broken down into simpler elements.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

A good pizza chef knows perfectly well that the ripening and leavening times are completely different, it's up to him to bake the pizza at the right time. There are flour on the market that can also reach 72 hours of maturation, while we know that the leavening times are much shorter.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

To match the right maturation and leavening time, simply slow down the leavening process by keeping the dough at a temperature of 2/4 degrees, it depends on the strength of the flour used. In doing so, the maturation process will continue, while the leavening will stop.

Leavening and maturation of the pizza, the differences.

After the right hours for the maturation process, you can bring the dough back to room temperature and then start the leavening. As soon as ready, you can bake the pizza. Unfortunately, the maturation process is very important therefore indispensable, helps to obtain color and aromas typical of freshly baked bread, promotes leavening and makes the pizza more digestible.
