1. 1

   Manual/Mixer Method: In a small bowl, work together the biga ingredients -- 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast -- till they're well-combined, but not or kneaded. Cover the bowl, and allow the biga to rest overnight at room temperature.

2. 2

   Next day, combine the biga with the remaining dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring till the dough becomes cohesive, then kneading or stirring vigorously in the bowl till it becomes smooth. This is a very slack (wet) dough; don't try to add enough flour to make it kneadable on a work surface. If you have an electric mixer, knead it with the flat beater attachment for 5 to 8 minutes. If you're mixing by hand, use a bowl scraper and your hands to work it as best you can. It'll become smooth and will hold its shape somewhat, but will be very sticky. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.
