      Simple way, make your preferred dough and then stash it in the fridge for a few days. Even just a few hours can make a difference, gives time for flour to hydrate at the minimum, longer is better for flavour.

      Applicable to almost any baked good too, bread/pizza benefits from long, slow ferments, get some complexity of flavour + can help with the dough’s structure. Sour dough kinda forces you into these long fermentation periods, I tend to use a preferment (like a biga or poolish) when I’ll use bakers yeast.

      Also can be convenient if you’re busy, it’s quick to mix things together, let the dough do the hard work for you.
