This ciabatta recipe has a poolish dough base, which can be compared to a sourdough starter, giving a nice structure to the dough. The poolish is made of a mixture of flour, water and yeast that must double in volume before adding more flour and water. Just stretch and fold the dough, which becomes smooth and elastic, over itself three times until it becomes beautifully shiny, soft and dense. The ciabatta tastes great plain, but don't hesitate to add the bold, punchy flavour of olive and chilies. It's a dream sandwich bread!

Note from Ricardo

If you would like to make the bread over the course of two days, you can prepare the poolish the day before baking the bread. In this case, use cold water and reduce the quantity of yeast to 1/2 tsp. Let the poolish rise at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight or until doubled in volume.

Once the bread has cooled completely, cut into the shape of your choice: individual portions, slices or in half. Place the pieces of bread in a freezer bag and freeze. The bread will keep in the freezer for 3 months.
