Directions

It takes 9 steps in 4 h 45 min
1 Ciabatta Bread - step 1
Let's prepare the first dough (poolish) by placing the Manitoba flour, yeast, and water in a bowl and mixing until it becomes a very liquid and smooth dough
2 Ciabatta Bread - step 2
Let it rise for one hour, covered with plastic wrap, in the turned-off oven
Tip: If it's winter and the room temperature is not around 24 degrees, turn on the oven light just to slightly warm the inside
3 Ciabatta Bread - step 3
After the first dough has risen, add the other flour, water, honey, and finally the salt, then knead until the mixture is very soft and lump-free
4 Ciabatta Bread - step 4
Let the dough rise for another hour, covered with plastic wrap, again in the turned-off oven
5 Ciabatta Bread - step 5
Spread the dough on a cutting board generously floured with semolina flour, gently press it down, and fold it over itself a couple of times
6 Ciabatta Bread - step 6
Cut the dough into rectangular shapes, even irregular ones, and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
7 Ciabatta Bread - step 7
Dust the surface of the loaves with semolina flour, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another two hours
8 Ciabatta Bread - step 8
Preheat the oven, placing a small pot of water at the bottom to keep it humid
9 Ciabatta Bread - step 9
Bake the loaves at 240 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 200 degrees and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Finally, bake for another 3 minutes at 200 degrees with the oven door slightly open
