The Trade-offs
- More yeast to speed up fermentation
- Warmer environment (25-28°C ideal)
- Less complex flavor than long ferments
- Slightly reduced digestibility
The Process
- Use 2-3x the normal yeast amount
- Keep dough in warm spot
- Skip cold fermentation entirely
- Allow 3-5 hours total fermentation
- Watch the dough, not the clock
Best Styles for Same-Day
Neapolitan same-day, Detroit, and focaccia work well. High-hydration teglia needs more time.
