  • Preparation: 180 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (58 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 31 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 25 g Water
  • 0.4 g Yeast, active dry
  • 0.6 g Salt
  • 1 g Olive oil

Method

  1. Makes one loaf, about 8 slices; multiply all the ingredients by 8 for a whole loaf.
  2. Dissolve the yeast in the water, then mix with the flour, salt and olive oil into a very wet, sticky dough — ciabatta dough is much wetter than most bread doughs.
  3. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for about 10 minutes until elastic and it starts to pull away cleanly from the bowl.
  4. Cover and let rise for 1.5-2 hours until doubled and full of bubbles.
  5. Gently tip the dough out onto a well-floured surface without deflating it too much, fold into a rough rectangle, and rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F) with a tray of water inside for steam. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  7. Cool on a rack before slicing.
