Found in response to a request for a bread machine recipe for Ciabatta Bread. I love this stuff. It is one of the best breads I make! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon white sugar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3 1/4 cups bread flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast |
Directions:
1. Place ingredients into the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
2. Select the Dough cycle, and Start.
3. Dough will be quite sticky and wet once cycle is completed, resist the temptation to add more flour.
4. Place dough on a lightly floured board, cover with a large bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes.
5. Lightly flour or use parchment lined baking sheets.
6. Divide into 2 pieces, and form each into a 3x14 inch oval.

11. Dimple dough for a second time, and then place loaves in the oven, positioned on the middle rack.
12. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
13. During baking, spritz loaves with water every 5 to 10 minutes for a crispier crust.
