Homemade Ciabatta Bread Recipe



Few things are better than homemade bread, and this no-knead ciabatta bread recipe is no exception. Hailing from northern Italy, this rustic, chewy, airy bread with a crisp, golden brown crust requires no special skills or tools to make. You just need the secret ingredient: Time. Allowing the dough plenty of time to rise will pay off with loaves or rolls that have the perfect texture and flavor.

  1. Looks amazing! And I was just telling my Italian father that ciabatta isn’t ancient – it’s decades younger than he is. Your “stretch and fold” cadence gives “bend and snap” vibes lol (for the kids: it’s from the iconic 2001 movie Legally Blonde). Making this tonight to have for breakfast tomorrow. 😋

  2. After making bread for a decade now the "SECRET" to bread making is to let the dough take all the time it needs. Your environment (heat and humidity), along with how much yeast you started with, set the pace. If you rush it you will get an inferior result. Also, you really do need to use a stone or steel to get the oven pop. An inverted cast iron skillet or griddle can do the trick if you have one large enough.

    The slower and longer the fermentation the more complex the flavor you'll get too. You can pop this recipe into the fridge after adding the last of the flour and do a stretch and fold per day (or every fer hours for the first day or two) for a couple of days (so you get in 4-6 total) then leave it in the fridge for 4-7 days total and get amazingly enhanced flavor.
