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.

    Submitted by amanda orsum gargula on 5. April 2024 - 08:24.

    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.

    Submitted by SueHi on 14. September 2020 - 15:41.

    Loooove this recipe!
    Have made it many times and never failed.
    Love making the leftovers into garlic bread (slice, butter, wrap in foil and bake until crispy and butter melted).
    Always trying different toppings like sesame seeds, rosemary & sea salt, etc.
    I find on a warm day it doesn't need the full proving time to triple in size so that's a bonus. Recipe is also very forgiving if you muck anything up.

    I wasn't sure if it was going to work because my mix was so runny and I only used 450g water but the bread turned out perfect! I put a bowl of water at bottom of oven and my bread was nice and crunchy on top.

    HELP!

    Been making this recipe since 2014 and love everything about it!
    However, for some reason when I made it today after 2.5hrs the dough was super runny which has never happened before. I'm not sure if the bowl was too oilly or I used the wrong flour but something went wrong, I followed the recipe exactly but once i scraped it out of the bowl it spread out everywhere. I tried making it again and I had the same issues. Wasn't sure who to ask but the people that have created this delicious bread. I would love to hear any suggestions!

    P.S is it normal that the thermo bowl run a litte hot?

    Submitted by BeesAreCool on 23. April 2018 - 19:56.

    I quickened up the rising time by proving the dough in a prewarmed oven (had used it previously to steralise jam jars) and didnt heat the oven to 250C as I have the most temperamental oven. The bread still turned out really well.

    Delicious! I’m not very good at waiting and as my dough was flowing over the large bowl I moved onto the next step and skipped a step by accident, so my 3 loaves came out smaller than I suspect they should be. However I’ll definitely be making again and leaving as long as the recipe. Thanks!

I've mucked up this recipe so many times and it still always works (like leaving it to proove the 2nd time for 12 hours lol)

    Submitted by Maida on 19. April 2017 - 16:25.

    A very easy recipe. I forgot to turn it on reverse but it didn't seem to make any difference. I have a Miele oven and proved it for one hour at 30 C and it tripled in size easily. After shaping I proved it for another 30 minutes before baking it with a shot of steam. It was perfect, hard crust and soft inside with plenty of holes . The crust did however soften as the bread cooled. I will make this all the time. Thank you.

    Hi ...... I have made this a few times and find it fantastic. Just wondering, when I have it on reverse in my TM 5 it makes such a " struggling noise " that I wonder if it's OK for the TM. Please let me know what you think.

    This was very easy. I forgot to put it on reverse but it didn't seem to make any difference. I proved it in my Miele oven at 30C for one hour and it was indeed triple in size. Then divided in two and proved for another 30 minutes. I used the moisture plus with one burst of steam at the beginning. Because it was quite hard I took it out after 20 mins total. Next time I will do it at 240 C for 10 mins and 200 C for 15-20 mins. It is delicious with plenty of holes but the crust did soften as it cooled. I will definitely make this again. Thank you.
