Make the biga: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup bread flour, 1/2 cup room-temperature water, and 1/8 tsp instant yeast until a shaggy, cohesive mass forms. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 12–16 hours, until the biga is bubbly, domed, and smells pleasantly yeasty.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the biga with 2 cups bread flour, 3/4 cup room-temperature water, 1/4 cup warm water, and 1 tsp instant yeast. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes until the ingredients come together, then increase to medium speed and mix for 5 minutes until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
