Ciabatta Bread made easy at home

[@tylersteele1887]

Your voice reminds me of Winnie the Pooh dont take it offensively it is very soothing makes me think of my childhood and thers the wonderful smell of bread baking just like when most of use were kids siting at grandma's

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

+Tyler steel No offense taken Tyler, pleased you enjoyed the video.

To me, this was the best instructional dough/bread making video I've ever watched.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching ITAY, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend. Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

Thank you John!! Finally someone who realizes we aren’t all professional bakers or have the money to invest in fancy gadgets. Our only tools available are whats in a basic kitchen. So I greatly appreciate ALL of your tips and tricks. I’ve always been afraid of making these breads for that reason but now, you’ve just given me the confidence and tool tricks to make them all. Im making your baguettes first then on to your ciabatta. Wish me luck.

[@Geordie6740]

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade You're right about the measuring jugs but you would think pyrex had their shit together on this. Out of curiosity I weighed 100ml of water - 90g Thankfully I've been very liberal when baking bread as Im using a mix containing whole meal so I've gone as high as 400ml (360g) / 500g of flour. It's a bit sloppy at first but I just let it sit until the flour has absorbed the moisture. The Ciabatta will be ready this afternoon, this will be the second time I've made them. #almost a professional :)

[@christinekaye6393]

There's one thing that you, John, did that most, if not all You Tube bakers don't do and that is show the actual speed settings on the stand mixer. I appreciate this very much. When you said to let the mixer run at the highest speed for 6 minutes, I knew you didn't mean the highest speed on the machine, but rather the highest speed you SHOWED us. This is very important if you're not very experienced or haven't used a stand mixer to knead bread. A lot of professionals (in any field) do things so automatically, they forget (or don't realize) many people aren't familiar with the process they're teaching. Thank you, kind sir, for your very clear instructions!to you and your family!

Nice job Emily, always remember the longer you wait for your dough to develop, the tastier the bread will be, we use machines because it's quicker, but waiting is better 😃😉👍.

I just made my first ciabatta bread using this recipe and I can't thank you enough for making it less scary of a hurdle to jump over. Artisan breads just seem so intimidating but I was confident trying this recipe and it turned out so well. My mom told me how she tried making ciabatta before (a different recipe) and it turned out hard, almost like a rock, but thankfully that didn't happen to me. The crust was crispy and the inside was soft and a little chewy. It was also still perfect even after keeping it on the table overnight. Thank you so much for this!

Time to make this bread yet again. I finally got strong bread flour - making this with all-purpose flour was a challenge! I had to double the water, and the loaves struggled to keep their shape.

[@mikepazzree1340]

Dear Mr Kirkwood. Again thank you for the awesome lesson. I made my loaves the other day. I’m a pretty good baker and as such do not buy any breads from the store. I find baking your own breads highly therapeutic and enjoyable. Baking bread is science and being specific does not always give me perfection. Bread is a finicky thing due to variations in my oven ( some days it maxes out at 350 , and sometimes 450 , it’s a La Germania and the best money can buy in the Philippines, I’m American retired here ) For this Ciabatta I wanted a hybrid dough as I love sourdough. So for my poolish I added 100 G of my starter ( yes , using a scale ) and halved the rest of the poolish recipe. It was not as huge a rise the next day as my previous Ciabatta rolls. But then I followed your excellent video and used my Kitchen Aid to combine and knead the dough. There was good oven spring , at most losing no more than 10% of rise as compared to your previous recipe. But the bread is marvelous. Crispy on the outside , full of holes and a slightly chewy , sour taste. I toast it and add butter and cream cheese every day for my breakfast It of course makes super yummy sandwiches using a Cuisinart 5 in 1 griddled for paninis. My gf is not gifted in the kitchen like I am , but we cook together. It’s great bonding time. She wants to thank you as well , as you and your wife are truly blessed in teaching others , complex techniques full of tips that are probably from mistakes one inevitably makes in the Kitchen. Again we both thank you and your wife for enriching our lives , loaves and tummies.

darling, there is no bread to be found on the shelves where I live unless you want bagels or english miffins (the only things left on the shelves), so thank you so much for making this video because now I get to, happily actually, make my own bread. Thank you so much for post this. I have just enough supplies to make this, hope you are well and thank you :)

Thanks for watching Katelyn, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend. Please checkout the channels new recipe Book, available now in the website shop here profoodhomemade.com/shop Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

I made this today, and it was like a cloud before I baked it. It is flavourful and light with a wonderful crust. However, I didn't get big air pockets. My texture was more even. Do you know why this might be? My yeast expired in December 2019, but during this lockdown, it was all I had. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher and helping me to make this delicious bread.

You’re the best John! I’m studying everything you just sent me. I think my first problem is strong white flour. I didn’t know anything about protein before you.

I found this recipe to be the best one of all that I've tried. The first time I tried this recipe I used Caputo 00 flour, which had 14 percent protein, but it's finess caused it to not hold up in volume. So I did it again with all purpose flour, since we're on covid restrictions, the grocery store was out of bread flour. But this round of ciabatte still came out perfect! Thank you for your kind, easy, patient instruction. It makes us all willing to try with confidence. Keep up the good work. Oh, the reason I used Caputo 00 is because I built a brick oven years ago and make artisan pizza VPN style. I should do a video on that! LOL!

I made this gorgeous ciabatta bread today. It is amazing -- thank you! I followed your instructions faithfully until I got to the loaf forming portion which I found unnecessarily complex and involving unneeded handling. I was able to cut the dough, form the loaves, allow the final 20 minute rise and bake the bread all on the same pan. I did not use a couche, plastic paddles or parchment paper and I did not have to transfer or flip the doughy loaves. My loaves were a bit rustic and not perfectly formed but that was not my aim either. Nor did it affect the taste or structure of the bread. I apologize for being a bit critical because I am extremely pleased at the gorgeous ciabatta you guided me through.

Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, even if it's new yeast, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU There is also a great recipe for Ciabatta rolls video on my channel too kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXrSlWOjbNd3r7s I have also recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

Wow, thank you! Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend. Please checkout the channels new recipe Book, available now in the website shop here profoodhomemade.com/shop Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast. 3.

[@Ed19601]

OK, just took them out. The smell is fabulous. Against my initial plan i did do them 22 minutes because the temperature in the oven had dropped a bit after putting them in, but in hindsight that might not have been necessary. Cut open the structure looks great. too hot to taste yet. Shaping was a bit tricky, so they look like different size slippers, but I guess that is just a matter of practise Next time I will do then 18 min no matter whether the temp dropped a bit I'd guess great success with an 11% flour oh that smell... I wouldnt be surprised if I finish them both tonight

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

+Ed19601 They really are great buddy and I know exactly what you mean with the smell, very well done for a first attempt, it really doesn't matter if they're different sizes they'll taste great, we had BLTs with ours last night, yum :)

I just have to tell everyone watching this video to make this bread! I just started bread baking 2 months ago and have tried many recipes and THIS is the best bread I have baked so far! I also got too busy to bake it yesterday so put it back in the fridge for an extra day, gave it 2 more 45 minute proofs (total of 5 45 minute proofing periods) and then baked them. This extra day did not affect the quality or taste of the bread, it is really fantastic! Thanks so much John for sharing your recipes with the world!

Thanks for watching Linda, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend. Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4.

Would be lovely with some fresh tomato’s, basil, buffalo cheese, olive oil and a pinch of salt!

[@raysaroj3932]

Hi John - Thanks to you I managed to make beautiful ciabattas. They swelled very well too .I used all purpose flour as I can’t get bread flour right now. But there were not too many air pockets ! What could be the reason ?

John Kirkwood l have the scale and will pull out a pillow case. I shall follow instructions RELIGIOUSLY! Told my vegan granddaughter (16) about it today and she is THRILLED! Doesn’t want to use the Kitchen Aid! Ha! Plan is to do it this weekend. I’ll let you know if we do baguette or ciabatta!

[@PapaSeed]

Hi John, can I make it without leaving it to rise overnight, but instead 5 hours?

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Papa Seed , much appreciated. 5 hours is not long enough in the fridge for the poolish, but you can however leave the poolish at room temperature for 3 hours to 6 hours. But it will not be as good a taste but ok. hope this helps. Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these.
