Here is a recipe we like to share from our Year 2 Diploma student’s stint in
the kitchen. Great lunch menus and over 300 guest, well done team
Ciabatta Bread
1.5 cups tap water
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp salt
3.25 cups flour
1 tsp sugar
1.5 tsp dried yeast
Method
Place ingredients into the bowl of a bread machine. Select the dough cycle
and start.
Dough will be quite sticky and wet once cycle is completed, place dough on a
generously floured board, cover with a large bowl or greased plastic wrap and
rest for 15 minutes. Lightly flour baking sheets or line them with parchment
paper, using a sharp knife, divide dough into 2 pieces and form each into a
oval. Place loaves on prepared sheets and dust lightly with flour. Cover and
let rise in a warm place for about 45minutes. Preheat the oven to 220° C .
Spray water on to the base of the oven and place loves immediately in the oven
on the middle rack. Bake until golden brown 25-30 minutes.
