Did you mean Ciabatta? if so here is one. Julie
Formula: Ciabatta Bread
Sponge:
1 lb. 1 oz. Water
1 oz. Fresh yeast ***
1 lb. Bread Flour
6 oz Virgin olive oil
Dough:
.5 oz salt
8 oz. Bread Flour
*** I substitute 1 package dry yeast
Warm water to about 100 degrees. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add yeast mixture to the flour for the sponge.
Add the oil.
Mix to form a soft dough.
Beat well for approx. 5 minutes or until the sponge starts to become smooth.
Cover and leave at room temp until doubled in size - approx. 1 hour.
Stir down and add the ingredients for the dough. Beat for a few minutes to form a smooth dough, which will be very soft and sticky.
Cover and allow to ferment at room temperature until doubled in size - approx. 1 hour.
Lightly oil sheet pans. Handle dough as little as possible. Scale dough to 18 oz portions. Deposit the dough on a greased and floured sheet pan. Shape very lightly into rough ovals or rectangles on the oiled pans. Dough will be sticky.
Dust tops with extra flour. Proof at room temp until double and flour starts to crack slightly.
Bake 425 for about 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
