Hey everyone, it is Louise, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a distinctive dish, ciabatta. One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Ciabatta is one of the most well liked of recent trending meals in the world. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions daily. Ciabatta is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They are nice and they look fantastic.

Ciabatta is somewhat elongated, broad, and flat, and is baked in many variations. This ciabatta, meaning "slipper," which the loaves resemble, is a classic Italian bread. This artisan bread has an open crumb and chewy crust.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have ciabatta using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Ciabatta:

1. Take 350 g strong bread flour
2. Get 150 g semolina flour
3. Get 475-485 g water at room temperature
4. Take 15 g fresh or 2 tsp instant yeast
5. Take 15 g salt

Far from the golden domed boules or slender baguettes, this Italian bread is lumpy, rather flat, and most definitely rustic. No two loaves or rolls of ciabatta ever turn out quite the same. This is something I love about this bread and that keeps me making it again and again. Transfer remaining loaf to front half of stone in a similar manner.

Steps to make Ciabatta:

1. Best to use a standing mixer for the dough, as it’s really runny. Fix the paddle attachment first and only swap for the dough hook if the dough starts ‘climbing’ up the paddle. If making it by hand, have scrapers at the ready, nags of patience and lots of flour to dust over the work surface.
2. Place the flours in the mixer’s bowl, add the yeast and give it a quick mix. Stir in the salt. Add the water and mix briefly to rough dough, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Now beat it at high speed for at least 10 minutes (change the paddle to hook if you have the climbing problem), until it stops sticking to the sides and the bottom of the bowl, looks elastic and stringy. Cover and leave in a warm place to triple in volume, about 2 hours.
4. Flour the work surface generously and turn the dough out. Using scrapers or two palette knives divide the dough into four pieces and shift them as much apart as you can so they don’t meld together again while proving. Spray the pieces with oil and dust liberally with flour. Let them prove for 40 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to maximum (250C/500F) and line two baking trays with parchment – or you can bake the bread in two batches. Scrape each piece of dough gently off the surface and stretch it with well-floured hands into a 25 – 30cm oblong loaf. Flip the loaves onto the baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until dark golden and crusty.

Cool loaves on a wire rack. The following sourdough ciabatta bread recipe results in four large ciabatta. I baked these in two batches of two in my home oven. When baking the first two, I placed the remaining two in the fridge on a proofing board, still held at the sides by a couche (to retain shape). Ciabatta means 'slipper' in Italian and describes the appearance of this oval, flattish yeast bread with an open texture and a crisp, floury crust.
