Servings 0
Ingredients
- 300 g bread flour
- 265 ml warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp oilve oil
Instructions
- In a rectangular box, combine the bread flour, warm water, salt, instant yeast and olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.Cover the box with lid a for about 45 minutes.
- Fill a cup with water and dip a small amount of water into your hands. Next, stretch and fold the dough on all four sides. Cover the dough with a lid and set it aside for 30 minutes. Repeat this process two times, then close the lid and let the dough rest for 40 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Fold the dough over itself a few times to shape it into a rough rectangle. Be gentle to preserve the air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a rectangular loaf. Place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 45 minute.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking dish filled with water on the bottom rack. This will create steam and help develop a crispy crust.
- Once the dough has risen, carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the ciabatta bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
