Pizza Bible Inspired Thick base Siciliano Pizza Pie

Hello, friends.

 I don't know if it's just me, however, I was having a very hard time following Tony Gemignani's formula for Sicilian pizza with poolish. I ended up doing what I always do. My own thing. I kept the 70% hydration and used my natural yeast starter for the poolish.   This is what I came up with. I am looking at a Saturday afternoon bake.
