Pizza Raquel Preferment Calculation Question

[HC123]

Does anybody know if the Pizza Raquel's preferment formula percentage is based on the formula's flour total, water total or total dough weight?

I am trying to adapt the recipe to create 13" balls using the preferment calculator but don't know how the preferment is expressed on this particular recipe.

Thank you!

Heather,

Over the course of the Pizza Raquel thread, Pete Taylor posted several versions of his Pizza Raquel dough formulation. The amount of the natural preferment/starter varied, from 3-8%, but the amount was always with respect to the total formula flour. I believe the last version of the formulation he posted is at Reply 568 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1258.msg59360.html#msg59360.

Thank you again Pete-zza! You're right. He uses different formulas for that recipe. Basically, I am trying to use his recipe as a guide while experimenting with my Wild Yeast sarter. I didn't quite understand how to enter a starter percentage into the preferment calculator! I am sure the best thing to do is keep experimenting until I achieve good results! So many pies to bake, so little time!!!

Aaaand, I can't believe I wrote I wanted to create 13 inch "balls" instead of "pies"  !!!   

Thanks again for always helping us newbies out!!!
