Ciabatta bread
Ciabatta bread is an Italian white bread made from wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast. It has a chewy texture with large holes inside, making it perfect for soaking up sauces or olive oil. It's great for making sandwiches, bruschetta, or served alongside soups.
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
- Stir the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking stone or sheet inside to heat up.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a rough rectangle.
- Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the ciabatta bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Serve with desired toppings such as tomatoes, cheese, olives and green peas. Enjoy!
