Mamma mia, the Genius II by MIMO Enterprises just got chronicled. This scaler handles the same resolutions as the Ultracade uVC, as well as being able to output RGB in 240p, and 384p (24/25KHz). The 14th episode of the Downscaling Chronicles runs the Genius 2 through its paces to see how it compares to the competition, featuring the uVC, OSSC Pro, and GBS-C.

Pizza ‘recipe’ (it ain’t a recipe, it’s a way of life)
65% hydration for 1kg flour to make it simple:
Poolish AKA pre-ferment: 300g 00 flour (Caputo Blue is my favourite), 300g water, 3g yeast, 3g honey. Combine, seal bowl and sit at room temp for 1-2 hours, then refrigerate for 24 hours

Next day, combine fermented poolish with remaining ingredients: 700g 00 flour, 350g water, 25g salt. Kneed for 12-15min by hand or 10-12min by mixer. Bulk ferment for several hours, individually ball the dough and ferment for several more hours depending on ambient temperature

I don’t always use poolish but it’s useful when the weather is unpredictable instead of trying to keep a bulk ferment at a constant room temp or if I don’t 3 days to slow-bulk ferment. I recommend the mobile app Pizzapp to help track the variables
