Simple and affordable ciabatta bread

In a small bowl, mix the dry yeast in 100 ml of warm water (out of a total of 375 to 400 ml).

Leave it on for about 5 minutes until it bubbles.

2. Mix the ingredients to make the dough.

In a large bowl, combine the bread flour and salt.

Mix the yeast mixture, remaining water, and olive oil with the flour mixture.

 

 

Mix until the ingredients come together to form a sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little water until you get the right thickness.

First increase:

Place a clean towel or plastic wrap over the bowl and leave the dough in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Shape the dough into shape.

Heat your oven to 220°C (430°F) before using.

Sprinkle plenty of flour on a flat surface and gently lay the dough on top. Be careful not to overpress the dough.

Form the dough into a rough rectangle by folding it over several times.

Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a flour-dusted kitchen towel, cover it, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Bake.

Put the bread in the previously heated oven and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

To make a crispy crust, put a small pot of water in the oven while cooking to create steam.

Cool and serve.

Remove the ciabatta bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before cutting and serving.

Ways of serving.

Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping.

Use for sandwiches or toasted sandwiches.

Serve with soups or salads to make a complete meal.

Tips for cooking

Make sure the water is warm and not hot to properly activate the yeast.
