How to Make Ciabatta Bread (Yeast-Leavened, Poolish Method)

[@jacobstehly8777]

I’ve watched chef after chef videos to make bread. Some spoke French and some talked through every step, no good outcomes. I come to this channel and a mom showed me without any talking. Best results I’ve had making bread. Trust in moms!!!!!

[@sara_jm333]

Fr😂❤

[@TSCsREFLEX]

It's literally the same steps in every video french, italian, american. All about the same. Sounds like you just get confused easy lol. BTW this cibatta is eh. Who wants a super white cibatta like this. Not I

[@ritagaglio8314]

Well, I 'm Italian and Ciabatta is not supposed to be super brown. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like an italian ciabatta to me.

[@melindahaynes8806]

I just found you after months of failure at sourdough. Finally success. Gosh I hope you’re still baking because you are a gift to all of us. Thank you.

[@zoyavasilevskiy3817]

I’ve watched this video probably 30/40 times and made this ciabatta like 5 / 6 times in the time span of like a week and a half, my husband is super impressed and now I have it down by heart, it only gets better and better with every timeout make it, also I doubled the portions by now , (it goes too fast) thank you so much for this simple delicious ciabatta recipe 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Love the kiddo noises in the background. Always think how lucky they are to have all that beautiful food!

[@AlexandraStafford]

Thank you, Carlie :) :) :)

[@Kintsugi.tv1]

Thanks for the nice recipe and for not putting any music and bs. Just the way you do it. Clean and nice!

[@lapismosi8065]

I agree.

[@KohAnli]

I think this is the BEST bread I’ve ever seen. She’s not even talking! Amazing skills. Mums can do everything cant they! :)

[@julesshort9219]

I'm a beginner at bread making and was having a lot of trouble getting that crispy crust and open crumble. Honestly, I was getting a bit discouraged. This recipe worked wonders! My dough after refrigeration was super flat and wouldn't really shape but somehow the final product was still amazing. Your folding technique was super helpful. Thank you so much!

[@GeorgeWTush]

Excellent video. Very clearly demonstrated and no yammering required. Brava!

[@thirstyd0g]

Made this a couple of days ago from the recipe on the website without watching the video. It tasted great but wasn’t ciabatta, it didn’t have the big holes it’s supposed to. I’m on my second try now, reduced the water and, most importantly, watched the video! I can see all the ways I went wrong, and this second attempt looks much more like the video. So, just have to wait half a day and we’ll see what happens… wish me luck!

[@goncaloveiga]

How did it turn out? Did you reduce the water quantity that she has in her recipe?

[@Jessejrt1]

Thank you for this! I lost the recipe I used about 10 years ago. After trying several "quick and easy" recipes,. I was disappointed withe results. Finally settled on yours because I liked the texture of the crumb in your photo. It worked perfectly, and is super delicious!!

[@rollmeinrice]

I barely have enough free time in a day to even watch this video all the way through, let alone actually make the bread, but I sure did enjoy watching what I could.

[@lapismosi8065]

I was thinking the same thing! I would think one would have to stay at home all day to accomplish all that!

[@planecrazyish]

Great work 👍 your dough handling skills are so impressive 👏👏👏👏 the bread is beautiful.

[@meganc.t.8638]

your videos are amazing. I'm learning so much more from watching you work with and shape bread dough than I ever have reading recipes. and I get so inspired by all the ways you use up your CSA veggies!!

[@AlexandraStafford]

So nice to hear this, Megan! Means a lot :) :) :) Thanks for writing.

[@davidhill1220]

I’m soo hungry! Thank you Patricia

[@oleksandrfesenko5975]

Thank you for the video. It's an awesome one! Concise, informative, and right on topic without extra words. Chiabatta turned out exactly as you've shown. Great result from the first attempt! Used bread flour and dry yeasts, followed your instructions, and had everything measured out precisely in grams. Delicious bread with simple ingredients was gone within the next couple of hours. It does take some time for proofing, but the result is 100% worth every minute. Tried several quick recipes before - they were not even close. Respect, like and subscription from me!

[@lyndak5492]

Delish! Wowza that’s a process. So soothing to watch you work.

[@AlexandraStafford]

[@joannjacquin4983]

This looks absolutely amazing!! I have to try your method!

First-time i satisfied my ciabatta,thank you so much🎉

[@Emma-lv4ds]

Hello . This is a true work of art. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍🏻🙏😘🇺🇦

[@guilhermejf8642]

OMG! Beautiful and looks simpler than most recipes!

[@Brianna-vr1xu]

I currently have a batch of you sourdough ciabatta going! I’m so excited 🤤 The recipe is very similar to this. What you seemed to have created is like an active starter without having a sourdough starter! Very interesting!

[@AlexandraStafford]

Exactly! I like the potential of this "poolish" idea for other sourdough bread recipes - it might allow those people intimidated by sourdough to get similar results without having to maintain a starter.

[@stevedimartino683]

Wow, you’re really pro. This is fabulous bread.

[@1cleandude]

Womenly efficient and it looks delicious thanks!🙏🙏🙏

[@clanreid2556]

❤️ it! ….add some balsamic vinegar to the olive oil 👍👍👍

[@luismart7714]

Looks amazing! Question: is traditional ciabatta as soft as yours came out or crust is harder?

[@Financiallyfreeauthor]

I’ve made it twice now. I’m going to have to start having a batch always going since it takes two days to make!

[@marcbarbani6887]

Very nice video! The bread came out great. When you say 360 grams of water do you mean 360 milliliters? Metric liquid measure is usually in ml. But it was pretty close using grams, it's the same as 1.5 cups US measure. Also the dough was quite sticky throughout, stuck to my hands and the bowl. But it was fine. Thanks for a great recipe.

[@hunterxz7570]

If it was sticky I think you should off added flour to your hands and that usually helps

[@Rose-bonnie]

grams and millilitres of water is the same :)

[@onshiplessoceans1675]

A work of beauty. Thank you.

[@peskyfox97]

Thank you for sharing this recipe and your techniques! I'm currently making the recipe as per the website recipe, and for the poolish, I used *all-purpose flour* as listed instead of the *bread flour* you used in this video... so far the dough is.... very liquidy/hydrated and difficult to work with, almost like sourdough breads I have made. I weighed all my ingredients, with the exception of yeast. I do have small hands... but the slap and fold technique is neigh impossible, the dough tears apart instantly. Re-watching this video, I am almost shocked at the structure established after the first 30 minute rest and it seems to have much less hydration too, in comparison to mine. I will still finish this recipe, but will likely reduce water next time as suggested in the FAQ. But, as I came here from your website, and I'm sorta confused. For the poolish/sponge, are you meant to use *bread flour* or *all-purpose flour* ? On the website, it says to use *all-purpose flour* , but here it says *bread flour* . What kind of bread flour do you use? Is there a protein % included with it? I am using King Arthur at 12.7%.

[@369GDW]

A thing of beauty to watch!

[@waldopepper4069]

lol, how delightful. halfway though the video life gets in the way as child interrupts. classic stuff that happens in every family and makes things real lol. hey thanks for making this video. i had always wanted to make my own ciabatta but it always looked too difficult and time consuming. your video has dispelled all that, and made it look simple and frankly, a bit of fun, and im keen to give it a shot. thanks so much. god bless.

[@Tuffjobs]

That’s fantastic. A lot of work, but it looks delicious!

[@saharbadrawy3919]

Bravo! Professional! ❤

[@harism5589]

From Poolish making to overnight refrigerate to kneading every hour- lots of time after you will get that fresh smell of Ciabatta! Now I more appreciate this bread when buy from local bakery :) To make this not difficult. Just amount of time to get the end result!!

[@iainwallington474]

[@oscarvega4001]

Quick Question: Instead of cold fermentation 12 hours fridge, can I let it ferment in room temperature (20°-22°) for a few hours (4-5 hours for example) ?

[@anitacosma736]

AMAZING GOOD JOB ALWAYS THANKS FROM AUSTRALIA

[@Drazja]

It looked amazing

[@bryan270]

do you have any tips on why my dough is so sticky? i did everything you wrote down. I don't know if my flour is bad or what. I use all purpose flour. it keep sticking so much that i can't even work. every time i do this it gets all over my hand and i end up washing them off so i basically trash like 1/3 of the dough

[@SarahlabyrinthLHC]

You probably need to use bread making flour which has more protein, that would also affect how sticky your dough is. You need a protein level of 12-13% in your flour.

[@rayaraya5854]

It looks soooo delicious 🙏🌹

[@belleray2]

Yum. Good job.

[@nilzaluzuka7751]

Perfect and delicious 😋

[@smitathite4066]

Very beautiful!!

[@codyredmer2545]

Amazing! How long could you keep in the fridge before you bake it? Like could you go 3 days cold ferment and then bake?

[@a_l_e_k_sandra]

Strong flour with at least 14% protein is a MUST for this hydration and handling.

[@artsypixels9482]

Your method is very easy to follow and the results look great! I have 2 questions: How long I can keep the poolish in the fridge and it will be still usable? What's the best way to keep the ciabattas fresh after baking? :)

[@OuYoMayo]

По-моему, в течение 24 часов с постановки в холодильник тесто лучше запечь. Поставили в холодильник, промежуточное складывание через 12 часов, потом ещё похранить в холодильнике, ну и печь. Лично я дольше суток не держала. На закваске, наверное, можно дольше хранить, но это не точно.

[@sosso2512]

[@biancabalmez7494]

my dough is very sticky and mild, is that ok ? should i work with it like this ? should i add more flour ? the ciabatta is very good at the end

[@shahrokhbiniaz5862]

Thank you so much for your recipe. I've done everything as you have shown in the video. Step by step. But unfortunately the crust of my bread is hard as a bone! Any suggestion?

[@ulayera]

I love your video and the website! By the time of this comment i'm in the 3rd folding phase. Why it doesn't stick to your hands so much? I wet my hands and it sticks if i touch it more than twice without wetting again.

[@marcelovictorvassoler1532]

Hi!! About the fridge 12h hour process, is there any problem if the time goes beond 12 hour? Because i work like full time job and can't take the dough in 12 hours

[@angelocanafernandez4958]

Good afternoon, today by chance your channel came out and I liked the way you make the Ciabatta ciabatta, please, the flour you use, how many proteins does it have, cordial greetings from Úbeda Jaén Spain

[@paul_domici]

Looks Amazing!!!

[@mariefield9671]

50 grams of water is 50ml? Looks amazing

[@marcelovictorvassoler1532]

Could you tell the brand of your bread flour? I'm doing exactly as you are doing in the video but after you add water and start massagin in my case the flour is too sticky yet

[@edwardjudice1393]

As usual, I follow the directions using a digital scale. The dough is always way too wet even after the resting. I am frustrated because after all the proofing, when I have to stretch and fold, the dough is like wet glue, coating my hands. Not at all like the dough in the video. Please help!

[@peskyfox97]

I know your comment is from some time ago... but I am having the same issue. Were you able to resolve this issue/re-attempt? What bread flour are you using? I am using King Arthur at 12.7% protein

[@daveandnorahmiller6209]

i look forward to trying this. I just bought your book!

[@AlexandraStafford]

Oh thank you! Hope you love it and the ciabatta, too :) :) :)

[@kelena19]

Fantástico. Gracias🌺

[@lawrencekellie]

What proofing container are you using? Could you maybe post a link??? Thank you

[@smittyschair]

If I were to add some ingredients for flavor, like caramelized onion, bacon, feta/goat cheese, when would I add those in?

[@antoinettenapoli1691]

Your video was very easy to follow I attempted your recipe. My loaf was hollow as well, but flavour amazing. I did have a wetter dough , could this have been the problem or should I have allowed the dough to prove for more than 2.50 hours cheers Antoinette.

[@josedesilencio8851]

It takes forever!

[@sylvialoh2543]

Is it a must to keep in the fridge for 12 hrs before we can bake?

[@bryan270]

is it the light because that first part where you mix it with the water before waiting 3 hours mine looked a little dark, maybe I put a little too much yeast?

[@doopmoop]

Hiii I was wondering if my dough isn't as stretchy by the last set (in the span of 2 hrs) should I continue working the dough until it reaches that consistency or go on to the next step?

[@VivaFitness-v8n]

So good I licked the screen😂

Hi! Do you think your dough over fermented? Was it very soupy and without any strength or structure?

[@solasola6206]

My dough keeps coming out really sticky. I’ve followed everything to a t. Is there a way to remedy this?

Look at your flour package, what's the protein content percentage? You need at least 14% for this. If such flour is unavailable to you, put less water, around 50g less if your flour is lower than 12% protein.
