RecipesCiabatta
Ciabatta is a fine Italian bread with large pores in the crumb, which absorbs oil or sauces wonderfully. The preparation is not too complicated, but it is a bit…
Ingredients (what you need)
1. dough
1/2 teaspoon dried yeast
150 ml water
3 tablespoons milk (lukewarm)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
150 g wheat bread flour
2. dough
1/2 teaspoon dried yeast
250 ml water
1 tablespoon olive oil
350 g wheat bread flour
1.5 teaspoons salt
Recipe steps
With the ingredients for the first batter, we prepare a thin mixture and let it rise for 12 hours, ideally overnight.
Then, we mix in the second group of ingredients and use a spoon to create a smooth, sticky, and slightly runny dough; there is no need for concern, this is fine.
We cover it with a cloth and let it rest for at least 3 hours.
We divide the dough with a spatula into two parts, which we then carefully transfer to a baking sheet sprinkled with flour. We moisten our hands well and gently try to stretch the dough in length, being careful not to push out the air bubbles. If the dough flattens too much, we can fold it lengthwise in half, preferably using baking paper underneath.
We let the dough rise uncovered for about 20 more minutes while preheating the oven to 220°C and placing a cup of water at the bottom. Then we bake both ciabattas.
The baked bread sounds hollow when tapped. This recipe is not intended for bread machines.
