Getting Started with the Ingredients
I always like to start by gathering all the essential ingredients for our no-knead ciabatta recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
- ½ teaspoon of instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups of lukewarm water
Mixing these simple ingredients together will form the base of our delicious ciabatta bread.
The Art of Mixing and Resting
Pour the lukewarm water into a large mixing bowl and add the instant yeast. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until the yeast activates and bubbles start to form. Next, I slowly mix in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough begins to form. Don’t worry about achieving a perfectly smooth dough – a rustic look is what we are going for!
After mixing, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature. This slow fermentation process allows the flavors to develop and creates that signature airy texture of ciabatta bread.
Baking the Ciabatta to Perfection
Once the dough has risen and doubled in size, it’s time to preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). While the oven heats up, transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape it gently into an oval or rectangular loaf. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
Before baking, slash the top of the dough with a sharp knife to allow for proper expansion during baking. Pop the ciabatta into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crusty on the outside.
Enjoying the Fruits of Your Labor
As the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked ciabatta fills your kitchen, take a moment to admire your handiwork. Slice into the warm bread and revel in the soft, holey crumb and crispy crust. This easy no-knead ciabatta is perfect for dipping in olive oil, making sandwiches, or enjoying with a steaming bowl of soup.
