Ciabatta bread

It is not SO easy to bake it. You need time and you need to be patient. I was. Most of the time I slept in a bed but my dough worked hard ;)
















"Ciabatta"

For the starter:
- 350g strong white flour
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 190ml warm water

For the dough:

- 450g strong white flour
- 2 tsp dry yeast
- 330 ml warm water
- 50 ml olive oil
- 11/2 teaspoon salt

Starter: place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well for 5 min. Brush the inside of the bowl with oil, place the dough inside and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Leave it overnight.

In the morning make the dough. Sift flour into a bowl, add yeast, water, oil, salt and the starter. Knead the dough for a 10 minutes until you have a smooth ball.
Leave it to rise in a warm place for another 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 4 strips. Leave them for another 30 min.

Preheat the oven to 220 stC and flour a baking tray. Pick up ciabattas and turn it over and lay on the floured baking tray.  Bake for around 25 min.

Ufff... enjoy.
