Another Milk Kefir Poolish Pizza 12/07/10

I lowered my deck oven temperature Tuesday to bake this milk kefir poolsih dough, with honey. The oven was lowered to 455 degrees F.  I took the temperature on the deck in different places with my IR gun.  My oven temperatures before this bake were around 566 degrees F.

The pizza did brown a little bit better and still retained moisture in the crust.  Now since trying a really low bake temperature I also have more unanswered ideas.  I wonder how such a low bake temperature can also have a good oven spring.  I never would have thought this dough would have good oven spring.  The taste of this pie was good, but not as good as when using Paul’s Manitoba flour with a much higher hydration.
