Steps:
- Combine yeast, sugar, and 1 cup warm water in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer; let stand 5 minutes. Add 2 cups flour, oil, and salt to bowl, and beat at low speed, using dough hook attachment, 1 minute. Gradually add additional flour until dough begins to leave the sides of the bowl and pull together. (Note: The dough will take on a "shaggy" appearance as the flour is being added. When enough flour has been added, the dough will look soft and smooth, not wet and sticky or overly dry with a rough surface.)
- Increase speed to medium, and beat 5 minutes. Cover bowl of dough with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and let stand 10 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; shape dough into a 12-inch loaf, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut 3 (1/4-inch deep) slits across top of dough with a sharp paring knife. (The slits release interior steam and prevent the loaf from blowing apart at the side.)
- Bake at 400° for 16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
- Herbed Focaccia: Proceed with recipe as directed, shaping dough into a ball instead of a loaf. Roll dough into an 11- x 14-inch rectangle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press handle of a wooden spoon into dough to make indentations at 1-inch intervals. Drizzle dough evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning. Bake at 475° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Pizza Crust: Proceed with recipe as directed, shaping dough into a ball instead of a loaf. Roll dough into an 11- x 14-inch rectangle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, or spread with pesto or pizza sauce, and sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake at 475° for 20 to 25 minutes.
ITALIAN CIABATTA BREAD ROLLS RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM
My family loves all kinds of fresh baked breads and I also make breads at home to get chance to make them healthy. You know, low sugar, no chemicals and above all fresh taste. Who does not love that?!
I usually make two batches of Ciabatta Bread Dinner Rolls at weekend and freeze'em..... then enjoy fresh bread WHOLE week.
Often, I bake four big rolls or sometimes, I make small eight rolls. This is totally per need, once you perfect the bread dough, you can make any shape or sizes desired.
In my home, everyone need reason to devour bread. Other than galloping it in dinner with some hot spicy curry, soup or pasta, we love trying various ways to eat fresh Ciabatta.
We turned it into garlic bread, even made ciabatta bread pizza, toasted and topped with cream cheese for breakfast, made croutons and what not!! Sweet fragrance of fresh baked bread rolls make you crave for these soft pillow ciabatta rolls even more.
For new bakers, Italian or Country-Style breads are best way to start bread baking at home. Few important things when making ciabatta rolls - first and foremost kneading, kneading for suggested time enhance the quality and texture of the bread and it is great exercise too ;) Second, is baking time and temperature. Bake ciabatta at specified temperature, for only 22 minutes first and then keep checking every one minute, if bread sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom, DO NOT over-bake it, that turns the bread dry.
Make ahead Ciabatta Rolls for Christmas dinner and I tell you, you will thank me for this excellent recipe.

Steps:
- For Starter - Mix well - 1 and 1/3 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp yeast, 1 cup warm water and 1/2 tsp sugar. Cover and leave at room temperature to ferment for at least 4 hours (or until dough doubles in size)
- For Dough - Stir the risen starter and let it rest for 5 minutes. In meantime, in a small bowl, add 4 tbsp warm water, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1 tsp sugar, 1 & 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp oil and mix well. Sprinkle yeast over the rested starter. Add milk and oil mixture and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix well. Transfer to a flour dusted board and knead adding 1 tbsp flour at a time until dough comes together. Knead the dough for 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, swirl the dough in bowl to apply oil all over. Cover and leave at warm place to rise for 2 hours (until it triples in size.)
- Shape the Dough - Punch the dough, transfer to a floured surface. Gently roll the dough to make a 12 inch rectangle. Divide it in four portions.
- Shape the Dough - Sprinkle a baking sheet with 2 tbsp of all-purpose or semolina flour. Shape each half into a small rectangle by folding it like letter (tucking the edges inside). Transfer each folded rectangle to baking sheet, folded ends facing down and place'em in 2 lines, 3-4 inch apart.
- Bake - Preheat oven at 425 Fahrenheit. Cover with kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature for 60 minutes (or until almost doubles in size) , then bake for 22-25 minutes or until tops are brown and bottom of rolls sound hollow when taped.
- Transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or let the bread cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for later. To defrost, I microwave frozen bread for 2 minutes at low power.
