Ciabatta bread -quick to make-

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• 250 ml water, lukewarm
• 15 g fresh yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 450 g wheat flour type 405

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 50 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

Mix the flour with the salt. Heat the water in the microwave, dissolve the crumbled yeast in it with a fork, add the sugar and olive oil, and pour the mixture onto the flour. Knead into a dough using the dough hook on a stand mixer, first on a low speed and then on the highest speed. Preheat the oven to 50°C (top/bottom heat). Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a cloth. Turn off the heat and let it rise for 20-30 minutes, until it has visibly increased in size. Then knead again and roll out on baking paper into a rectangle measuring approximately 30 x 40 cm. Fold in the short sides once and roll up with the long side to form a ciabatta. Place the bread on a baking sheet with the baking paper, cover again with a cloth, and let it rest or rise at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 210°C (top/bottom heat). Place a large pot filled with water on the bottom of the oven (for the necessary humidity). Then bake the bread on the middle rack for about 35 minutes.
