  2. Add the flour, salt and oil and mix 20 sec/speed 6.
  3. Knead 3 min/closed bowl/dough mode.
  4. Let the very wet dough rise in a covered bowl for 3 hours with folds every 45 min.
  5. Turn the dough out carefully onto a heavily floured worktop.
  6. Divide into two rectangles without degassing.
  7. Transfer the ciabattas to baking paper dusted with flour.
  8. Let them rest another 30 min.
  9. Bake with steam in a preheated oven at 240°C for 25 min until golden.
  10. Let cool on a rack.

Tips

  • Handle the dough with plenty of flour because it is very sticky.
  • The folds during rising give strength and large holes.
