Ciabatta Rolls
All you need is a few hours and these ciabatta rolls! They are light and airy on the inside with a chewy crumb and a golden crust dusted with flour.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups (450 g) all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (85°F)
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Make dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons yeast. Make a well in the middle of the ingredients and add 1 1/2 cups warm water and 2 Tablespoons oil. Mix the dough until it forms a ball, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- First rise with stretch and folds. Warm your oven to 100°F and then turn it off. Cover your bowl with a towel and then place in the warm oven (make sure it's off). Stretch and fold the dough every 15 minutes for one hour. Leave the dough in the oven (covered) for one more hour or until doubled after after the last stretch.
- Shape dough. Dust the counter with some flour. Turn the bowl of dough upside onto the counter. Gently press the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick and lightly dust the top with flour. Use a bench scraper to cut dough into 9 pieces and then place on the baking sheet. Don't worry about it being perfect.
- Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Second rise. Cover baking sheet with clean towel and let sit for 30 minutes while oven gets hot.
- Bake. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
- Storage – The bread can be kept at room temperature, wrapped in foil, for 2 days.
- To Reheat the Bread – Keep it wrapped in foil and place in a 450-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes.
