How to make Italian ciabatta

In fact, many times, cooking not only makes you happy, but also cultivates your sentiments and allows you to relax. So sometimes we need to learn how to cook. Here is a recipe for Italian ciabatta.

1. Mix 1250g all-purpose flour, 6g salt, 5g yeast and chopped garlic and green olives. Add warm water (185 to 195g, depending on the water absorption of the flour)

2.2 Chop the garlic and cut the green olives into slices

3.12 Use a wooden spoon to mix well and form a very wet dough.

4.21 Take another clean basin (the bottom diameter of the basin I use is about 15cm), add 30ml of olive oil to cover the bottom of the basin.

5. Use a wooden spoon to put the dough into a bowl containing olive oil. No need to stir. Slightly smooth the surface with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap.

6. Let the dough rest for an hour and when it has risen to 1.5 to 2 times its original size, use a wooden spoon to knead the dough for about a minute (just like kneading dough by hand, from the outside to the inside). Make sure there is still a layer of olive oil at the bottom of the bowl when it is finished.

7. Repeat step 6 (let the dough stand and knead with a wooden spoon) 3 times, that is, the total fermentation time of the dough is about 3.5 hours to 4 hours. The dough will rise to 3 to 4 times its size, and large bubbles can be clearly seen on the surface.

8. Spread a lot of flour and pour the dough into the flour pile. (You can start the oven at this time)

9. When the dough is covered with flour on all sides, cut it in half and shape it into two small rectangles by hand. Be as gentle as possible during shaping and do not break the bubbles in the dough. Bake in the oven at 230 degrees for 20 minutes. Let the shaped dough rest for 15 minutes. Once the oven is preheated, you can put the dough into the oven.

10. The holes are porous and come in different shapes and sizes, which is why Ciabatta is so soft and delicious.

There are so many different kinds of delicious Chinese food that you can never eat enough and never be able to describe them all. The distinctive Italian ciabatta bread that I would like to introduce to you is very suitable for you to try making at home.
