Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Prepare the olive mixture by mixing 50 g olive oil, 100 g black olives and 100 g green olives (roughly chopped), 1 garlic clove (finely chopped) and ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence.

Stage 2

In bread-making, the water temperature is always important. It's not a fixed value, but related to 3 other temperatures: 1) the temperature of your flour, 2) the room temperature in your kitchen, and 3) the basic temperature of this recipe, which is 56-60°C.

You can calculate the temperature of the water for this recipe in one click, using this small calculator.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 15 min.

Put into a food processor bowl: 350 ml water at the right temperature, 9 g salt, 15 g yeast and - if possible - 150 g Soured dough.

Knead on slowest speed (1) for 10 minutes.

Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add the olive mixture.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Knead on slowest speed for a few more minutes, until the dough is evenly mixed.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 hours

Turn the dough out onto the worktop and gather it into a ball. Put this into a large bowl, cover with a sheet of plastic and leave to rest for 2 hours.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

After this time, divide the dough into pieces of around 250 grammes each.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 5 min.

Form these lumps of dough into squares or rectangles.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 1 hour

Arrange the loaves on a lightly floured cloth. A traditional French banneton is ideal for this, but not essential.

Cover with a sheet of plastic and leave to rest for 1 hour.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 30 min.

Preheat the oven for 250°C (480°F) and bake for around 30 minutes.

Note: As when baking any bread, you should ensure that the oven is filled with steam for the first 15 minutes of baking. This page shows you how; it really is the secret of golden-brown, crusty loaves..

Remarks

These ciabattas are delicious on their own, simply sliced then cut small as aperifif snacks.

Keeping: A few days wrapped in a cloth.

How to prevent peeled fruit or vegetables turning brown

Most fruits turn brown soon after peeling due to oxydation, and this is unattractive. To prevent this, you will find many recipes that tell you to coat them with lemon juice as soon as they are peeled. It's relatively effective when fruit are simply to be used peeled, but if you want to make a coulis or a sorbet for example, this is no longer sufficient.
