Sourdough Ciabatta/Ciabatta sa starterom

One more masterpiece from Emmanuel Hadjiandreou….beautiful, fluffy, soft, delicious, well known classic – Ciabatta. It takes little bit more time and extra more love to get those beauties in your hand. That makes them even more precious.

For the first time I got those beautiful bubbles in dough and the most beautiful holes in fresh baked Ciabatta. Just amazing what Mother nature can bring us on the table.

And what is the best way to eat perfect Ciabatta, apart from eating it on its own with some great olive oil from Croatia? Of course, to make XXL delicious sandwiches. Vegetarian with avocado, figs, chili, green salad, honey. And stronger one with spicy sausages, pecorino cheese, kalamata olives, green young onion, salad…

Ingredients:

500g flour (250g whole grain white flour and 250g semola flour)

2 teaspoon salt

120g white flour starter

400ml lukewarm water

3 soupspoon of olive oil

Finely chopped thyme and rosemary

Semi-dried tomatoes

Mix flour, salt, thyme, rosemary and semi-dried tomatoes together in one bowl.

In another bowl dissolve starter in the lukewarm water and add olive oil.

Mix both mixture together in sticky dough. Cover the bottom of another bowl with little bit of olive oil and transfer the dough, cover with wet kitchen cloth and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place.

After 1 hour, stretch the dough by folding one side to the centre, rotate bowl and do it with another side and so 4 times. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour. Repeat the whole process 4 times, allowing to rest for 1 hour between stretching and folding. If the dough is sticking to the bowl, add some olive oil.

When the dough is bubbly and doubled in volume, replace it on a work surface covered with flour.

Pour some flour at the top of dough as well. Shape rectangular and cut the dough into 3-4 pieces (ciabatta). Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Remove hot baking tray from oven, place baking paper sheet and ciabatta on it. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, depends on oven.

They are baked when they have nice, brown color and sound hollow when you tap them on the bottom.

Allow them to cool on a wire rack.

Croatian version-

Još jedan fantastičan klasik od Emmanuela Hadjiandreou…mekana, rupičasta, slasna, aromatična Ciabatta. Ovaj recept s domaćim kiselim tijestom zahtijeva nešto više vremena i puno više ljubavi, ali rezultat opravdava sredstva, zar ne. Po prvi puta dobila sam tijesto puno mjehurića, a nakon pečenja s najljepšim rupicama koje sam u svojoj kuhinji vidjela ikad 🙂

Sama sam sušila rajčice uz dodatak češnjaka, ružmarina, timijana, soli, papra i to je bilo dovoljno da ovim kruhčićima da poseban okus. Ciabattu je najbolje jesti uz malo domaćeg maslinovog ulja. A za sve one koji vole pojesti dobar XXL sendvič, napravila sam dvije varijante s Ciabattom prerezanom po dužini. Jedna vegetarijanska s avokadom, smokvama, feta sirom i ostalim vege delicijama te konkretna s pikantnom salamom, maslinama, poljskom salatom, pecorino sirom…

500g brašna (250g punozrnog bijelog i 250g semolina)

2 kavene žlice soli

120g startera od bijelog brašna

400ml mlake vode

3 jušne žlice maslinovog ulja

Sitno rezani timijan i ružmarin

Polusušene rajčice

U jednu zdjelu pomiješati prosijano brašno, sol, timijan, ružmarin i narezane polusušene rajčice. U drugog mlaku vodu i starter te miješati dok se starter potpuno ne otopi u vodi. Dodati maslinovo ulje. Pomiješati suhu i mokru smjesu prvo kuhačom, a onda polako sjediniti rukama. Dobit ćete prilično ljepljivu smjesu. Drugu posudu malo posuti maslinovim uljem te prebaciti tijesto i ostaviti da se diže 1 sat. Nako sat vremena podignite dio tijesta i utisnite u sredinu i tako ponovite ukupno 4 puta okrečući zdjelu. Okrenite dio u koji ste utisnuli tijesto prema dole, prekrijte zdjelu s tijestom vlažnom krpom i ostavite da stoji sat vremena. Ponoviti ovaj postupak još 3 puta i svaki put ostaviti tijesto da miruje sat vremena. Kada je tijesto nakon 4 puta miješenja i stajanja lijepo naraslo i ima mjehuriće, pažljivo ga prebacite na dobro pobrašnjenu površinu. Pospite s brašnom.

Pažljivo formirajte pravokutnik od tijesta i dio na kojem se vidi spajanje tijesta okrenite prema dole. Od tijesta izrežite 3-4 ciabatte i pospite ih brašnom. Ostavite da se dižu 30 minuta.

Zagrijte pećnicu na 240 C zajedno s tepsijom na kojoj ćete peći ciabatte. Kada je pećnica zagrijana, izvadite zagrijanu tepsiju, stavite na nju papir za pečenje, zatim ciabatte i pecite oko 20-30 minuta, ovisno o pećnici. Gotove su kada poprime lijepu boju i kada kuckanjem po donjoj površini čujete šuplji zvuk.
