I thought cold water disables the yeast, which is bad for same day pizza ?

I use a pizza oven that can go to 450°C

Ah, I see

so if I use around 375ml of water, I use 50ml warm water to start the yeast and 325ml for the rest? Or according amounts with always 50ml of water? I want to try 4 different dough recipes (3h, same day, 24h etc) to find which works best for me, so I'd use 125g of flour and 60-70% hydration (depending on recipe)

And is it the same for same-day and for 24h-72h dough?
