Ricetta del pane ciabatta fatto in casa semplice e veloce

bread flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients, while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a high smoke point, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: instant yeast

Sourdough starter adds depth of flavor, while instant yeast is convenient.

salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Sea salt can enhance flavor with trace minerals, while table salt is more economical.

Mix 200 grams of Manitoba flour and 100 grams of flour 00 together in a bowl.

Add 300 ml of warm water and 2 grams of dry yeast (or 6 grams of fresh yeast) to the flour mixture.

Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until the yeast is dissolved in the flour.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rest in the oven (turned off) for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, prepare another dough by mixing 400 grams of Manitoba flour and 200 grams of flour 00 in a bowl.

Add the previously prepared dough to the new flour mixture.

Pour in 350 ml of warm water and 3 grams of dry yeast (activated) or 9 grams of fresh brewer's yeast.

Mix the ingredients until a consistent dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until it pulls away from the walls of the bowl.

Add 20 grams of salt to the dough and continue mixing for another 7-8 minutes until well combined.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature.

After 1 hour, sprinkle semolina on the work surface and transfer the dough onto it.

Gently fold the dough over itself twice, being careful not to deflate it too much.

Let the dough rest for another 1.5 hours.

Preheat the oven to maximum temperature.

Once the dough has risen, place it on a carbon steel plate or a baking tray.

Generously spray water on the dough before placing it in the oven to create steam for a crunchy crust.

Bake for about 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius to avoid burning.

Check the bread for color; it should be golden brown.

Remove the bread from the oven once it is nicely colored and crusty.
