Ingredients
Scale
Before you start baking your easy no-knead ciabatta, gather these essential ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 cups warm water
These simple ingredients are likely in your pantry already. As you can see, no fancy items are needed!
Instructions
- Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl; add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
- Flour a surface, turn out the dough, and shape it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Cover and let the dough rise for another 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) 30 minutes before baking.
- Transfer dough to a hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Allow the dough to rise properly for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust.
