Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

  • 38 g Ciabatta Classica
  • 154 g Wheat flour (Type 550)
  • 8 g Yoghurt
  • 4 g Olive oil
  • 2 g Instant yeast
  • 96 ml Water, approx.

Method

  1. Mix all Ingredients with a spiral mixer for 4 minutes slow and 4 minutes fast. We recommend using cold water to keep the dough temperature at max. 26°C.
  2. Once all Ingredients mixed, cover the bowl and start the bulk fermentation time for 60 minutes.
  3. Scale the dough into 150 g pieces and mould the dough in round shape.
  4. Cover the dough and start the intermediate proof for 30 minutes. We recommend using a wet kitchen towel to cover the dough.
  5. Form into a Pita shape and place onto greased baking trays.
  6. Allow the dough to final proof for 15 - 20 minutes at ambient temperature, we recommend covering the baking tray with a plastic or cling film to keep the moisture in the dough.
  7. The oven should have a temperature of 240°C when you put the Pita bread in then decreasing to 220°C. We recommend putting 2 - 3 ice cubes on the bottom of the oven to get a slight steaming effect for a nice crust.
  8. Bake the Pita bread for 8 - 10 minutes.
