I enjoy the science behind bread making, and what I have learnt from you, I can easily experiment, adapt and modify recipes. With this Ciabatta, i changed the whole process to suit my quantities and timing, and it worked out perfectly. Thank you for the knowledge you have passed on 👍👍

I'm going to learn to make these. My Dad would love these.

This time I made a single batch just for “me” 😉 These came out perfect, just like the video. Crunchy crust, slightly chewy interior. I also baked a couple batches yesterday and shared with my brother and a friend I was meeting at a local farmer’s market. Her parents have a farm and she gave me some fresh eggs from their chickens. What a perfect use for them - a breakfast sandwich with a gooey, runny egg yolk, ham, tomato and melty Havarti cheese. Photos have been posted on "Charlie's Baking Buddies".

I discovered ciabatta working in a sandwich bar off Haarlemerstraat in Amsterdam. Had never heard of it before but boy did we fall in love. 😂. We used it for many of the sandwiches - my two favourites were Egyptian chicken with bacon, monchego, Romano lettuce, and lime Mayo; and oven roasted butternut squash with honey and slivered almonds, and creamed goats cheese. Ciabatta is an awesome sandwich bread. Little sandwich tip I learnt there: always cover both sides of the bread with something. Was a game changer for me. 😂 Ps. Making this tonight for tomorrow! 🎉

I personally like the method of just using two solid baking trays instead of steaming: preheat both and flip the second one upside down to cover the rolls like a clam shell. The steam coming out in the first minutes is trapped like in the iron skillet method and you don’t have to steam at all. Remove the second tray after 5 minutes. 😊

Lovely stuff. 😀

Hungry kids should be eating your “adult” sandwiches sharing the joy with you ☺️ Writing this because of the staggering obesity rates amongst children, and the Pediatric Academy now is quick to put kids on pills or surgery😮 to “treat” obesity. Kids should get nothing sweet until kids have eaten nonsugary food. Once they’ve eaten, give them at least 20-30 min. After that they can have a bit of sugar …. IF they are still asking for it. They won’t. Works every time. And that is how they learn hungry vs wanting a candy bar or Nutella.

I simply don't feed kids (or adults, pretty much) the sugary 'treats' anymore, and they don't miss it. I've also found a sneaky way to get kids to try something that they might not try, if given a choice between something new/or the standard 'kid's menu'. I put off the time that they expect to eat by a bit(maybe 1/2 an hour)...and then cook in front of them, and have a bite myself of the 'new' food (Let's use fried liver as an example). I say something like "Mmm, that's so good"...like I'm talking to myself, and don't even look at them...then if they don't ask for a bite, I don't offer. If they DO ask, I'll grudgingly say "Well..... I guess you could have a tiny bite, but this is for (Grandpa's) supper, so you could only have a wee taste, and that's all." Works about 95% of the time to get them started on a new food that's really good for them. 😉

Took me 20 YEARS with Instant Yeast to FINALLY... Obtain those BIG AIR BUBBLES inside my Bread!!! 😆 It was trial and error all the way!!!! hahaha One Baker said not enough protein !!! (true! My white flour only has 6.5%, but that wasn't it!) Then someone said not enough hydration... So I added water! But that wasn't it! Then I noticed Ciabata bakers FOLDED their dough every 30 minutes! But I noticed it tore itself apart on the first fold...SO I let it rest 60 minutes before folding the FIRST fold and added something like 18oz of water to my 3.5 cups of white flour and VOILÀ!!! A decent size bubble for a 6.5 % protein content dough! 😁🥳🤩🥳

I am sure you will agree with me. I have completely adapted the no knead method to all my mixes now. I will never do stretch and fold again. I do find with high hydration doughs. as I was making a Detroit a few weeks ago and I did no knead but instead of letting it rise for each fold I put it in the fridge for 15 minutes and then did the folds as you did in a previous video. I find that even with very high hydration its not sticky at all and the end result rocks. So why bother letting anything rise. Do the no knead in the fridge and then bulk ferment in fridge then degas and back in the fridge for proof :) The only thing I found is that if you put the dough in the oven and its to cold it will make big bubbles. But that's with pizza. I do final rise at room temp. I never did proof in the fridge and then bake, I don't think it would be easy to strerch a pizza dough that way. Anyways I have adapted your methods into my pizza making, although some things work for bread and maybe not so much for pizza but never the less. I love no knead and everything in the damn fridge after :) I guess when you degass the dough you can stretch the pizza and put it in the fridge for proofing :) Still not sure about how it will react in the oven if it comes out of the fridge into the oven. And no I will not try that LOL

Ingredients For the dough 230g (8.1oz) white bread flour 20g (0.7oz) whole wheat flour 5g (0.17oz) salt 2.5g (0.09oz) instant dry yeast or 3g (0.1oz) active dry yeast or 7.5g (0.26oz) fresh yeast 190g (6.7oz) water* The flour I use has a protein content of 13%. If your flour is weaker, then you may need to lower the hydration. If you are using active dry yeast, then you may need to let it sit in the water for 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients or else it could take a lot longer to raise the dough. Method In a large bowl combine the water, yeast, salt, and whole wheat flour. Mix well to dissolve the salt completely, hydrate the yeast, and to disperse the whole wheat flour in the water. Add the white bread flour and mix to a dough. *Desired dough temperature 24C -25C (75F - 77F). Cover and ferment for 15 minutes. Fold #1 Ferment for 15 minutes. Fold #2 Ferment for 15 minutes. Fold #3 Ferment for 45 minutes. Dust the dough generously with flour and invert it on a floured surface. Trim the edges and cut it into individual rolls. Place on a floured couche. Separate the rolls with the folds of the couche. Place the trimmed off pieces on each roll. Cover and leave to cold proof for 12 hours. Pre-heat the oven to 250C (482F) fan off. Invert the rolls on a piece of non-stick paper. Slide them in the oven and steam the chamber. Turn the temperature down to 230C (446F). Bake for 17 minutes. Leave to cool down slightly and enjoy!

your cold final proofing made baking more user friendly breakfast rolls were awesome and after 3 days they are still soft and yummy:) btw what do you think, isn't it help to leave ciabattas out for a while before refrigerating, like you said with breakfast rolls? they were divided after proofing but moving from one tray to another and then onto a towel could have knocked out some air. also, are you using rice flour? I found that mixing it with regular flour give better result in long cold proofing. There's been cases where even with a lot of wheat flour I couldn't get my bread out of the basket.

No need to leave them out any longer. They will puff up well anyway. If you move them carefully they will not deflate. They're not that fragile :) Rice flour can help for sure. But I have not yet had problems with regular flour.

I really like the flavor of these, so much so I want to really perfect them, but I'm not getting them proofed right I think. They rise in the oven very fast but they each develop a large empty air pocket, with overstretched, broken gluten strands visible. What I know: -Weighed all ingredients -I used active dry yeast, dissolved for 10 minutes in the water at 43C. My kitchen was around 18C ambient and my dough initial temp was between 22 and 23C. -Resting times were followed carefully -My refrigerator maintains a temperature of about 3C -Baked straight from the fridge -My oven runs at correct temperature, however it is a 3/4 size oven and tends to cook things faster. These rolls get well browned after only 12-13 minutes. I'm wondering if lowering the temperature for a gentler bake makes sense. I'm new to this so I'm unsure what to do besides trial and error one variable at a time - does anything stick out to you? On a side note, the pockets are absolutely perfect for stuffing with egg, cheese and bacon, so I'm not exactly crying about it.. 😁

Might have been a little over proofed. Try refrigerating it sooner next time.

Why do you prefer not to proof on the parchment directly? I'm sure you could put a similar crease in it, etc.

Because I like the stripy surface that is created by the floured cloth.

Could I use wholemeal flour instead? Or half and half? Thanks

Love ciabatta, my all time favorite, but haven’t had any luck to get it right yet..😐 Will try this one .. No need to let the dough warm up before baking? What’s fridge temperature? Mine is 40F, I usually let the dough sit out for 30 minutes…

They were either over or under proofed I'd say. If your dough and kitchen are warm them chill them sooner. If everything is a bit cool and the fridge is quite cold too, then perhaps chill them later.

You could. But that would not be very practical imo 😅

Mine turned out not so good at all 😢 just 1 big air cavity inside. Any thoughts where I went wrong?

@ChainBaker

Жыл бұрын

They may have been over-proofed. Try shortening the fermentation time before the dough goes in the fridge. Or make the dough slightly cooler. Saying that, it is hard to tell without seeing it, so it may as well been under fermented. If the rolls look like they have not risen much, then flip them onto the baking paper and let them rise a bit longer before baking.

if you are manipulating dough in any way, stretching, twisting or folding this is kneading so quit the b/s!. nice recipe & video by the way.

In most cases, the top shelf of the fridge is a bit warmer, you could try to place your dough in there. It's probably just 1°C difference, but it might be enough to keep the yeast awake

A deep tray covered with another tray would work well. The coil fold method is best for large batches. Lift the dough, let it hang down and roll it underneath itself. Repeat on all corners until tight.
