2 cups bread flour

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
