How to Make Ciabatta bread

Instructions

Step 1

Poolish: In a bowl, place the 160 grams of flour, 6 grams of yeast and 170 cc of warm water, stir with a spatula, do not knead, leave covered with plastic wrap for an hour or as long as you have, at room temperature or in a turned off oven.

Step 2

When the hour passes, place the 350g of flour in a bowl, add the yeast and sugar in a bowl, add the yeast and sugar, then add a little warm water, cover it and let it rise. When the yeast is ready, add it to the bowl with flour, then add the rest of the water along with the poolish and salt. Stir it with a silicone spatula or whatever you have.

Step 3

Then on a counter or flat surface, do a French kneading: take the dough on both sides, lift it up and turn it around quickly so that your fingers don't stick, for 10 minutes (this kneading is done when the dough is very wet and sticky). Then add the olive and wonder oil to the bowl (if you don't have olive oil it can take up 100cc of wonder oil) and place the dough on top of these two oils, then cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour.

Step 4

After the hour, take out the dough and in an oiled dish (use the same oil as the bowl) stretch the dough with your fingers (you can pour flour or oil on your fingers so that the dough doesn't stick) and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then we fold two edges towards the center, making it in the shape of a rectangle, add flour on top and turn it over, add flour again and stretch it with our hands.

Step 5

Cut the dough with a sharp knife or a flat spatula, you can cut the dough into small squares, triangles or mini rectangles, depending on the size and shape you want. Then we let it ferment on a plate (the one they are going to use to bake it) for 30 minutes. Then they preheat the oven to 180° and bake the bread for 12 to 18 minutes. Then remove the flour that is stuck in the bread with a spatula or knife.

Step 6

Tips: This dough needs a lot of hydration, so don't worry if the dough is too wet.

Step 7

To make the bread crispy, you can place a glass of hot water inside the oven when you are going to bake the dough or spray the bread with water.

Step 8

- If the cuts of the bread don't fit you, it doesn't matter because this bread is very rustic in shape, they don't need to be perfect.

Step 9

-Film paper is used because the kitchen towel removes moisture from the dough.

Step 10

If you want to add olives, you can do it in step 3, before letting the dough rest, but you must subtract 100cc of water from the dough, since the olives give it greater hydration. Remove the crusts from the olives.

Step 11

-This bread doesn't need a normal kneading, you can see in this link what French kneading is like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uen6X7nRjug or you can simply skip the kneading and stir it with the spatula.
