Ciabatta bread recipe

• In a small bowl add 1/4 cup water, honey and yeast, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir.


• In a large bowl add the flour.


• Make a well in the centre and add the yeast mixture and the remaining water.


• Mix with a wooden spoon, add the salt mix again.


• The dough will be loose and sticky.


• Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough, cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a draft free area for 1 1/2 hours.


• Lightly flour a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.


• Gently move the dough from the bowl to the prepared cookie sheet, making sure the top of the dough (the floured part) remains on top.


• With a spatula form the dough into an oblong shape and bake for approximately 20-30 minutes. Let cool and slice.
