Making Pizza Dough (Poolish Method)
📌 The first step involves creating the poolish (starter) using 10g yeast, 20g sugar, 300 ml water, and 300g high-protein flour.
⏳ The poolish must be allowed to rest and rise for approximately 30 minutes until visibly expanded before proceeding.
🍕 For the main dough, significant ingredients include 1250g high-protein flour, 40g salt, and 700 ml water, combined with the prepared poolish.

Dough Preparation and Kneading
💧 Mix the water, poolish, and gradually add the flour; salt is added later with the remaining flour to prevent direct contact with the yeast.
🖐️ Knead the mixture manually using a pushing and folding technique until the dough achieves a smooth, cohesive, and elastic texture (kalis).
⏱️ After initial kneading, the dough requires a 15-minute rest period covered to allow further rising before shaping.

Shaping and Finalizing Dough Balls
✨ To improve texture and reduce stickiness, stretch the dough by repeatedly lifting and dropping it, adding flour to hands as needed.
🔄 To form perfect round dough balls, use a rounding technique involving turning the dough counter-clockwise while pulling it backward two to three times to create tension.
⚖️ Portion the finished dough according to preference, with the presenter typically using 150g per small pizza serving.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The quality of the dough is crucial for excellent pizza, yielding crusts that are crunchy outside and chewy inside.
➡️ Consistent practice is encouraged ("jangan ragu buat sering berlatih") to master the dough-making process successfully.
➡️ The detailed multi-stage process—creating poolish, mixing, resting, kneading, stretching, and portioning—ensures optimal dough structure.
