So What Is Biga Anyway…

• Biga is an Italian term for dough that utilizes an all natural leavening process called a ‘pre-ferment.’

• The health benefits of naturally leavened, pre-fermented dough are well known by nutritionists around the world.

• The natural airborne yeasts require a longer rising time, thus creating enzymes in the dough that help break down the glutenous proteins into amino acids making it easier to digest.

Yes, pizza can be healthy!

• The benefits to using Biga:– Probiotic – a Biga promotes good bacteria growth,

providing probiotic benefits.– Local food – our Biga harvest wild yeast naturally

from the local environment– Slow food – Wild yeast takes time but only

produces the amount needed to raise the dough– No Sugar – since we don’t use commercial yeast,

we don’t need to add sugar to our dough
