Paul hollywood ciabatta

My first go at cooking classic Italian ciabatta with a recipe from Paul Hollywood. I talk you through how to handle such a wet dough, with great results.

It's Week 3 of my Great British Bake Off Bake-along and it's Bread Week! Check out my twist on Paul's Ciabatta Bread Sticks and Tzatziki!

I have been very inspired by The Great British BakingOff. I have watched the first season on Netflix as well as I have been watching The G...

Paul Hollywood has a lot to say about bread—and those blue eyes make us listen!

I saw the contestants bake this bread on The Great British Baking Show. This is my American translation of Paul Hollywood's Ciabatta recipe.

Easy small batch ciabatta rolls are fluffy and airy with a perfect crunchy, crackly crust. They take only 10 minutes to prepare and require no kneading. | aheadofthyme.com #ciabatta #bread #breadrolls #dinnerrolls #sandwichbread #buns via @aheadofthyme

Ciabatta dough is extremely wet, so difficult to make by hand, but if you have a freestanding mixer it's simple. Don't be tempted to add more flour or rush the prove as it will spoil the the texture of the finished loaf. Equipment and preparation: for this recipe you will need a freestanding mixer with a dough hook attachment and a 3 litre/5¼pint square plastic container with a lid.

I've had this recipe for sometime; given its first proving takes six hours, its not a recipe I'd be whipping up after tea one night, and so it has sat in the kitchen draw for some time now. We actually purchased Paul Hollywood's Bread book as a gift for a friend at Christmas time. It's a great book written by a talented Baker, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Should get around to buying myself a copy now! Anyway, most of Paul Hollywood's recipes can be found on the BBC food…
