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.
