Easy Ciabatta Bread

Step 1

Place all the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine, in the order your dough machine requires. Select the Dough cycle and start it.

Step 2

Add a generous amount of flour to a counter surface and place dough on it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 2 pieces, forming a bread loaf shape with each. Place dough onto a nonstick baking sheet. Dust lightly with flour on top.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. With a water bottle, spritz the bread loaves with water. Please don't skip this step - this makes the bread crispy! Bake bread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until slightly brown.
