Pin Recipe Instructions
- Sift flour. Add sugar and salt. We mix. Add spicy herbs if desired. We dilute the yeast with water at room temperature.
- We introduce the diluted yeast into the flour. Stir until smooth. Add olive oil. Knead the dough (it should be very soft).
- Cover the bowl with plastic foil and leave in a warm place for 2 hours. Cover the baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle it with flour. Gently transfer the dough to a prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the ciabatta dough well with flour and crush, forming a cake. Cover with a towel and let the dough rise.
- Using a spatula or knife, divide the risen dough into portioned pieces. We make shallow cuts on each piece so that the ciabatta bakes better.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the ciabatta in the oven. The total baking time is approximately 20-30 minutes. To get a crispy crust, after 10 minutes, sprinkle the surface of the dough with a little water.
- Homemade ciabatta is ready.
Bon Appetit!
