Italian ciabatta with yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare your ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add salt, sugar and dry herbs to the flour. Stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Dissolve yeast in warm water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add water to flour and knead the dough. It turns out quite liquid. Mix the butter into the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the dough to a convenient bowl, cover with film and leave for 2 hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough will double in size. If it's cold here, let it sit longer.

8. STEP 8

   

   Generously flour a baking sheet or parchment paper and turn out the dough. Sprinkle on top and smooth. Let it come up under a towel.

9. STEP 9

   

   Divide the cake into portions using a spatula. Make a well in the center of each ciabatta to allow the dough to bake better.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bake at 250 degrees for about half an hour (these are approximate figures - use YOUR oven as a guide!)
