Ingredients
- 400 g/14.10oz 00 flour OR All-purpose flour Plus extra on the side
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 tablespoons EVOO
- 12 g/0.42oz fresh yeast OR 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 300 ml/1 1/3 cups water lukewarm water + small bowl with water for your hands
Instructions
- No-knead ciabatta bread dough always starts with the flour! Add 10% of your flour (approx. 40g) into a bowl along with the warm water.
- Next, dissolve the yeast into the mix, breaking it down with your hands then using a fork or spatula to combine.
- Once the flour, water and yeast are well mixed, add 2 x tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, then the sugar plus salt and mix through.
- When the ingredients have combined well, slowly add the flour, just 10-20% more at a time, mixing it as you go to make sure the flour is absorbed into the wet mixture.
- Once there is no dry flour in sight, cover the bowl of ciabatta bread dough with plastic wrap and place it in the oven (turned off) for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, remove the bowl from the oven, take off the wrap and put a generous amount of flour on your board, before placing the dough on top.
- Drizzle a generous amount of EVOO on top of the dough, spreading it all over before using the spatula to fold in each side of the bread, one section at a time (some of the flour should now be stuck to most of the dough).
- Now, add even more flour to the ciabatta dough, spreading it all over.
- Cut the loaf into 4-6 portions using a pastry cutter, according to how big you want the ciabatta rolls and gently lift each one (with a hand on either end) and place it on the tray.
- Pre-heat the oven to 230°C/446°F, fill a cake pan with water and place it in the bottom of your oven to help keep the ciabatta bread from drying out.
- Place the ciabatta rolls in the oven for 20 minutes before removing the tray of water and cooking for an additional 5 minutes to create the perfect crispness!
- E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
