The taste of homemade bread can not be compared with the most amazing pastries. But it is so easy to make it yourself. And each time, adding new components, get a unique bouquet of aromas of vegetables and herbs. Today I will teach you how to bake Italian Ciabatta bread. The recipe is simple and suitable for both the bread maker and the oven.
This variety of bread has a large number of options. But they are united by several main requirements. Ciabatta bread should have a crispy crispy crust and lush nostril flesh. Different flavors are obtained by adding sun-dried tomatoes, Provencal herbs, dried vegetables and a variety of seasonings.
Ciabatta. Classic recipe
To make bread, you will need to prepare wheat flour (650 grams), water (300 grams), olive oil (30 grams), fresh yeast (30 grams) and one and a half teaspoons of salt and granulated sugar. First of all, prepare the dough. To do this, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water, then cover the bowl with a towel and leave it in a warm place for an hour. In the rest of the water, dissolve the salt. After the dough has increased several times, pour it into salt water. Add flour, olive oil and knead a very soft dough. Now cover the bowl with a towel and leave it in a warm place.
As soon as our dough has increased, carefully form small oblong loaves. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour. We spread bread on it and dust it with flour on top. Again we insist until the loaves double. We turn on the oven and warm up to a temperature of 230 degrees. Set the pan in the middle of the oven. And in the lower position we put the second pan, on which we pour a little water.
Bake bread for about forty minutes. The first fifteen minutes we don’t open the oven door, otherwise our loaves will settle. The finished bread has a golden crust. We take it out and lay it out on a wooden board. Lubricate with oil, cover with a towel. Do not cut the bread for thirty minutes. He needs to breathe.
Ciabatta. Recipe with Olives and Suluguni
To prepare this amazing bread, we need a can of seedless olives and one hundred grams of suluguni. For the test we take dark beer (200 grams), water (750 grams), a bag of dried yeast, one tablespoon of salt and granulated sugar, flour (1300 grams). First, prepare a dough of beer, sugar, water, yeast and 600 grams of flour. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Cover it with transparent cling film and leave it overnight.
In the morning, add salt, flour to the dough and knead the soft dough using a wooden spoon or spatula. Cover the bowl with a towel. Leave in this position for one hour. Sprinkle the table with flour. We spread the dough on it and divide it into several parts. We form oblong loaves and leave to approach for an hour and a half. At this time, we are preparing the filling. Cut the olives into thin slices, and turn the cheese into crumbs.
Lightly crush the dough. Pour the prepared filling in the middle, fold the tortilla in half. Sprinkle flour on a baking sheet and spread our loaves on it. We heat the oven to a temperature of 230 degrees, set a baking sheet and bake bread for 45 minutes.
Ciabatta. Recipe in a bread maker
To make two small items, you will need water (180 grams), wheat flour (250 grams), one teaspoon of quick dry yeast and salt. In a special container we place all the components, starting with water, and install it inside the bread machine. Choose a baking program and the desired color of the crisp. Click on the “Start-Stop” button. After one hour and twenty minutes, a second beep will sound, which notifies you of the preparation of the test.
We divide the finished magnificent mass into two identical parts. We form oblong loaves from them and lay them on flat pallets for baking. Grease the surface of the bread with olive oil. Set pallets in the bread machine. Again, press the "Start-Stop" button. After thirty-five minutes, the ciabatta in the bread machine is fully cooked and a signal sounds. We take out the loaves and lay them on the grill. Leave to cool, after covering with a towel.
