Extreme Open Crumb CIABATTA BREAD at Home

Everyone can make a great Ciabatta Bread at home with this easy process. For Ciabatta, we'll be using biga, which is a pre-fermented dough that will give our bread a great flavour and a super airy and open crumb. This Ciabatta is perfect for sandwiches and it includes also a small percentage of whole wheat flour for great elasticity and lightness.

[@manushhristov4733]

@MileZeroKitchen, in the video you bake two of the four pieces of dough. What do you do with the other two pieces, keep them in the fridge for later use (and if so for how long can it stay in the fridge?) or you have to bake them immediately after the first two pieces?

Amazing, i liked the open crumbs , my question is , i live in a very hot country almost all the year ,temperature around 35 to 40 c , do i need long time fermentaion as you mentioned in your recipe? And how to cutdowm fermentaion time in each process?

[@MileZeroKitchen]

The warmer is your weather, the shorter will be the fermentation. There is no right direction, you just have to feel the dough and learn when it'll be ready for your specific temp! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@boatmanmarto2002]

Wow how to make Pumpernickel Bread

[@msm16hood78]

That looked like a super dry biga. Do you find a dry biga ferments better? I thought yeast needed lots of water to do their yeast thing?

[@mariateresavarlet8599]

No steam in the oven?

[@nathanielswan909]

I would go crazy with all the proofing that goes on........I'll still just buy it at the store......or is there a step that I can just stop there and refrigerate and finish it off at some other time?

[@anniil884]

I made a mistake. I put a little water in the pega, and it looks like dough right now. Is that okay?

[@luciayang89]

Great video! I have tried no kneading ciabatta before but the crust were thin. I would like to try your method with stand mixer. BTW, a poolish is usually 1:1 flour and water ratio. Any reason you did differently? Did your ciabatta get a stronger crust? Is it a matter of "tension"?

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Hey Lucia thanks for watching! this is a biga, not poolish. I did many videos about poolish already, especially my pizza ones. Hopefully this method will give you great results!

[@luciayang89]

@@MileZeroKitchen Thank you for your reply. Do I have to wet my countertop b4 spreading the dough to a thin layer? Can you explain more on why we "dry" the dough in a thin layer for 10min?

[@MileZeroKitchen]

@@luciayang89 hey Lucia, by stretching and resting you give the gluten the chance to develop even more. Everything is explained in one of my previous videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZmZY5-Zqd9ngq8

[@luciayang89]

@@MileZeroKitchen Hi Mile Zero :) I tried your double-hydration recipe yesterday but I couldn't get the bowl clean-up like you. The dough sticked to the bottom when I add the 2nd 80g water even I turned the speed up to 2. However, mine is a Kenwood XL Chef. Should I beat the dough longer or turn up the speed further more?

[@MileZeroKitchen]

@@luciayang89 the second water needs to be add very slowly. Drop by drop if needed. Try kneading the dough for a longer period of time, then rest, then kneading again and add more water. It's also possible that the flour you're using simply can't absorb all that water. In that case, even if the final result is shaggy, just let it rest for 10-15 min and then apply some slaps and folds to see where you at. Good luck!

[@Grabson]

Hi, I would like do this recipe but wher I'm leaving it's hard to get dry yeast. Could you please write how much of fresh yeasts should I use?

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Hey Marek, whenever you see dry yeast you can just double the amount for the fresh one. So for example, this recipe calls for 2.5gr of dry, you can use 5gr of fresh. Pretty easy. Thanks for watching!

@@MileZeroKitchen thanks for the reply, will tag u on insta if it is a success :D

[@GofioZ]

@@MileZeroKitchen so taste wise it is really nice, its light and the crust is crunchy. . . but I didnt get the big open crumb ciabatta loaves are famous for. A very even crumb, with small bubbles. Flour was 13.4 so I reduced the water by 15g. Any ideas? many thanks!

[@MileZeroKitchen]

@@GofioZ tough without seeing your steps. Did you knead with a stand mixer? The open crumb comes when the gluten is properly developed so maybe it could be there's something wrong with your kneading process. Also, i wouldn't change the amount of water, the flour you used is pretty strong and it needs a lot of water to get a springy interior.

[@GofioZ]

@@MileZeroKitchen I used a mixer ye and followed your steps. Adding water and olive oil very slowly. took around 35 min to incorporate in the mixer. When I did the lamination however it didnt stretch well and therefore started to tear. Too much water and not proper gluten development probably the culprits. What type of flour did you use, will try and get something similar

[@pl777]

Ok this is the 4th recipe of yours I’m trying. I don’t get all the holes you do yet. But I’m not yet using your flour. Using Costco bread flour because it’s 25 lbs for around $7

[@NameHierEinfuegen]

Try getting some gluten powder (often sold as saitan base for vegetarians and vegans). That way you're not as dependent on your flour. I mostly use organic wheat flower (that usually has 2% gluten less than conventional) and where I live run of the mill conventional is already pretty low (often at or below 10%). Usually I'll replace 4-8% of my total flour with that powder and my results now are phenomenal compared to before.

[@peggyhoffmann9303]

The high gluten flour is only available in 50 lb bags so I used bread flour instead. The biga was dry in spots. Can I afd a bit more water? And what did you put on your counter to keep the dough from sticking. Oil or water?
