Recipe's preparation

    Easy Ciabatta Bread
  1.  


    - Add all ingredients in the bowl, mix on sp 6 for 8 seconds. Let mixture rest in bowl for 10 minutes. 

  2.  


    - Turn up to Sp 9 for 3 mins (yes 3 mins!) on counter-clockwise operation. Stay next to your Thermie to make sure it doesn't jump off the bench!

  3.  


    - Dough will be very sticky - pour into a large well-oiled bowl and let sit for 2.5 hours until tripled in size.

  4.  


    - Empty and scrape out the dough onto a well floured thermomat or bench top. 


     

  5. - Divide into 3 pieces, dust with a good amount of flour, then using spatula shape roughly into flat balls. 


     

  6. - Leave to prove on the mat for 45 mins. While waiting, turn the oven to 250c to heat up while proving and line 2 or 3 trays with baking paper. 

  7.  


    - Now, with well floured hands, pick up each dough gently and quickly flip it , stretching into a ciabatta loaf shape (oblong). The flipping helps spread the air bubbles - even if it looks a bit dodgy, trust me it will rise beautifully in the oven!

  8.  


    - Bake at 250 for 10 mins, then turn the oven down to 200 for another 15-20 until bread is starting to brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

    Fabulous recipe. Have made this a ton of times & it never fails 😊

    Karlie: After 'some' research i found In Australia the Wallaby and Lighthouse brands of dried yeast do not have Sugar listed as an ingredient. Yeast is listed as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There's Ascorbic Acid in both, the small amount of 'sugar' in the Emulsifier can't really be counted toward sugar *unless you have a sugar allergy* . I've had consistency in my results with those 2 brands and they're quite forgiving. So i hope this has answered your question.
    In the past I've used Mauripan, Saf, Lowan, Tandaco & Bakels.
    I have not tried liquid yeast or compressed yeast. There's also a frozen yeast!
    Another note is that when you use Dried Yeast you use 3-4 times less than Compressed Yeast. IDY instant dried yeast has roughly 30-40 times greater fermentation power than Active Dry Yeast, it also allows you to make bread in 1 rise. ADY takes about 20 minutes longer to rise.

    I'm assuming that with dried yeast I would have to add sugar, as there would normally be sugar in a sachet? Wouldn't I need sugar to feed the yeast?

    This is the best ciabatta bread we have ever had. It is a long process, but as long as you start early, you only have to do a few processes and enjoy watching some Netflix whilst it 'grows'. It comes out so airy and the perfect accompanient to soup, or just to lash with butter and eat.

    Superb Recipe thank you. Love the ease of it and the consistent results.
    Wondered if I could substitute or add sourdough starter/discard to recipe or would it rise too quick? Love anyone's thoughts on this

    Easy to follow recipe. Cooked the bread in a hooded bbq on a ceramic pizza tray. The bread was light and delicious. Will be cooking this again.
