Ciabatta Bread Recipe No Yeast

Nothing fits better to a summer barbecue than a Mediterranean and literally “breadified golf course”. Flatbreads or “sandals”?  Oh no! Here comes a ciabatta recipe, which has already caused more than just 1 “hole-in-one”  in several # workshops.

Almost as much water as flour makes #’s “The Hybrid” an airy and light delicacy, for which steak & co. are even skipped during a barbecue session. Olives, dried tomatoes and oregano provide a Mediterranean touch mix from Greece, Italy and Spain.

Only the best from the fascinating world of natural bread fermentation. Breads and bakery products are classically referred to as “hybrids”, for which both commercial yeast and sourdough are used. But since here on # we see commercial yeast as something from “yeasterday”, we combine our sourdough with a wild yeastwater pre-dough.

If you still don’t have wild yeastwater in your “fermendeer stable”: HERE you will find all information on how to make it the easiest way.

The predough is prepared overnight, the next day the dough is mixed and just in time for dinner your “Hybrid” will be ready.

The flours (Tipo 0 “Le Favolose”, Manitaly, Manitaly Integrale*) come from the real “flour treasure chest” of the Paolo Mariani mill (in the recipe Grainwich there is more background information about the mill).

In addition some Einkorn – freshly mockmilled (do you already know the # interview with home-milling pioneer Wolfgang Mock from Mockmill here on my blog?) for an extra crunch.

Because your ciabatta will be become a real scapegoat for your kitchen-machine when it comes to the kneading process (what you have to pay attention to is described in the recipe notes below).

Well, and for those who (again) come around the corner with the common problem: “Jam and Nutella are falling through the holes” – I highly recommend to do the following instead:

Chef John's No Knead Ciabatta

3-4 times fed - for the last feeding (to build your levain) apply a ratio of 1:2:2 (Starter: Flour : Water). The calculation is easy – you just need to end up with the total levain amount, as needed in the recipe (in this case 50g – so you need 10g starter, 20g flour and 20g water; Makes sense, right?) Use your levain at peak at an age of 4 to 5 hours (let it rise at an ambient temperature of 25-27 degrees Celsius). This time frame is just an indication and depending of the activity of your sourdough culture. I highly recommend using the same flour for building the levain, as you are using it for your usual sourdough feeding. Check out my sample feeding-schedule below in the recipe notes or in the recipes Lime story or Moulin Ruch.

40g Manitaly (Manitobo, alternative: Tipo 0 violett) 10g Manitaly Integrale (Wholemeal Manitobo, alternative: Wholemeal wheat flour) 50g Yeastwater (active) Mix all ingredients together and let the mixture rise covered and in a high bin for 8-12 hours (depending on your yeastwater's activity level) at 25-28 degrees Celsius. I would advise you to do that step in the evening before the day you gonna bake. During that hours, the mixture should have doubled in size and you should see pretty bubbles on its surface. 2 hours after you did the setup of your Levain on baking day, let the Poolish cool down well covered in the fridge.

How

210g Tipo 0 Le Favolose Molino Paolo Mariani (alternative: Tipo 0 orange) 35g Einkorn, freshly mockmilled (alternative: Einkorn wholemeal flour) 170g Water (cold) Mix all the flour and the indicated amount of water and let the dough rest well covered for 2 hours at room-temperature (Autolyse), followed by a cooling-down-phase well covered in the fridge for 30 minutes.

No Knead No Yeast Homemade Bread With Olive Oil & Herbs Recipe

Autolyse 50g Levain 100g Wild yeastwater-Poolish 40g Wasser (ice-cold) 7g Salt 12g Oliveoil 40-50g Olives and/or dried tomatoes 1 tsp Oregano some freshly grated lemon peel The high kneading speed to form the gluten warms up the dough very quickly. Pour the already cold water for the main dough into a small bottle about 1 hour before kneading and store it in your fridge to cool down even more. Additionally: rinse the kneading bowl of your kitchen-machine with ice-cold water immediately before kneading. Add Levain and the Yeastwater-Poolish to the autolyse-dough and knead your dough for 4 minutes with your kitchen-machine (low level), until it releases from the bowl. Increase speed (to maximum - you really have to „beat“ that kind of dough) and add the indicated water stepwise (during that process lower your speed while adding water and increase once the water has been absorbed). With the last amount of water, add the salt, and once incorporated also the oliveoil with the same procedure (lower your speed while adding the oil and increase speed once the oil has been absorbed). Now knead the dough at high speed for another 30-60 seconds at high speed, until the dough releases from the bowl and you are able to perform a good window-pane-test. You are ready? Than just add olives, dried tomatoes, Oregano and the grated lemon peel and mix for last 60-90 seconds on low speed level (at this kneading-stage low speed is very important for protecting the gluten from damage). The perfect final dough temperature is around 25 (max. 27) degrees Celsius. Put the dough into a well greased container and let it rest covered at 26-28 degrees Celsius.

In total 3-4 times, every 30 minutes, so after 30/60/90 and possibly 120 minutes, perform a set of strech & folds. The reason for this short interval is that we are trying to structure the dough as early as possible. Gluten are already developed. Now, we are forcing the dough to hold its shape. That is very important as we will hardly touch this dough again. After the dough has doubled in size (maximum tripled), we can proceed with the next step.

Carefully release the dough onto the floured (for an extra crunch use Semola Rimacinata) working surface. Dust the surface of the dough once again well with flour (or Semola) and cut off 3 dough pieces of about the same size. Do not pull apart or re-shape! After 5-10 minutes of waiting time, turn the Ciabatta over with a quick (but careful) movement with a dough scraper (the Ciabatta's bottom becomes the top). Now take a second dough scraper (or use your hand, but very gently) and carefully lift the ciabatta onto a piece of parchment paper (floured and slightly larger than the Ciabatta’s size).

Let your Ciabatte rest for 70-120 minutes (check by the famous poke test - even if at higher hydrated doughs it is very difficult to judge the status of how proofed the dough is - make sure that the testing spot hardly returns to it's starting position and your Ciabatte are full of air and feel super-light when you touch them).

Preheat your oven and your baking stone (for Ciabatta a strong bottom heat is very important) for 60 minutes at 270-300 degrees Celsius. Load the Ciabatta with steam into the oven and bake at 270 degrees Celsius. After 12 minutes, open the oven, let the steam escape, close it again and continue for another 10 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius.

As most of you are maintaining your starters in the fridge for a couple of days during the week, it is extremely important that your sourdough is fed 3-4 times, before builidng the levain (the last feeding) for your planned bake. Those feedings will reduce the acid load and will increase your starter's activity level. Have a look at the  Tutorial-Video. 

Gluten Free Ciabatta Bread (without Gums)

For the feedings, just work with very small quantities of flour and the according ratios of starter (the sourdough you have stored, or the amount resulting from the stages of the timetable-example shown below) flour and water. All produced discards can be perfectly used for making flavorful Fleur de Levain. HERE is the instruction guide.

Simple

This example shall show you the way how you may plan your feedings. Observe your sourdough - and try to estimate the time it needs to rise until it's peak at a certain feeding ratio. On your baking day, you'll use your levain on the young side (4-5 hours young at its peak). This favors both, open crumb and ovenspring.
