Fluffy Italian Ciabatta - Simple & Authentic

A fluffy Italian ciabatta with a golden-brown crust is the epitome of Italian baking art and brings true Mediterranean flair to your kitchen. As a hobby cook, I love it when the scent of freshly baked bread fills the home – there's hardly anything cozier! Although ciabatta is famous for its long resting time, the preparation is absolutely child's play. We use only high-quality, fresh ingredients like flour, water, and yeast to create the incomparably airy dough with its typical large holes. By consciously avoiding convenience products, you will learn how a true masterpiece can be created from simple basic ingredients with a little time and patience. The secret lies in the moist consistency of the dough, which ensures its characteristic structure. Whether as a side dish for a spicy tomato soup, classically drizzled with the best olive oil, or as a base for a hearty sandwich – this bread will delight you. Grab your bowl, let's knead the dough together and discover the magic of bread baking. It is the perfect way to unwind from everyday life and reward yourself with a piece of Italian zest for life.

Ingredients

Preparation

1

Stir the lukewarm water (200 ml) with the fresh yeast (5 g) in a bowl until completely dissolved.

2

Add the wheat flour type 550 (250 g), sea salt (5 g), and olive oil (10 g) and mix briefly until a very moist and sticky dough forms. Don't worry, the dough is allowed to look a bit wild!

3

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for at least 3 hours, until it has significantly increased in volume and shows small bubbles.

4

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5

Carefully slide the dough onto a floured surface, do not knead to preserve the air bubbles, and shape it into a typical ciabatta form.

6

Place the bread on the baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy with purring happiness!
