WHOLE-GRAIN CIABATTA BREAD(OR ROLLS)

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine water and yeast; stir and let stand for 10 minutes. When yeast is bubbly, add milk, olive oil, whole-wheat flour, oat bran, ½ cup bread flour, and salt and beat for 2 minutes. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Add enough remaining bread flour to make a soft dough; beat for 1 minute. Cover bowl and let rise for 1 hour.
• Remove dough to lightly floured surface (dough will be soft and sticky). Grease two 4″ × 10″ shapes on a large cookie sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Divide dough in half and shape into two 3″ × 9″ rectangles on the greased areas of the cookie sheet. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place a 9″ pan filled with ½″ of water on bottom rack. Bake bread on middle rack for 20-30 minutes or until loaves are light golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with fingers. Cool on wire rack.
• Yields 2 loaves; 8 servings.
• For Rolls:.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal.
• Prepare Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bread through the first rising. Punch down dough and turn onto lightly floured surface.
• Divide dough into 6 portions. Using floured fingers, shape each portion into a 3″ × 3″ rectangle.
• Grease six 4″ × 4″ squares on a cookie sheet with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place dough onto each cornmeal coated square. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
• Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
• Bake rolls for 10-15 minutes or until very light brown. Turn off oven and prop open oven door. Let rolls stand in oven for another 5 minutes. Then remove from oven and let cool on wire racks.
• Yields 6 rolls.
• Note:.
• Creating Steam When Baking Bread.
• Adding steam to the oven when baking bread makes a crisper, thicker crust. There are several ways to do this. You can place a pan with some water in it on the rack below the bread. You can also spritz the loaves with water a few times while the bread is baking. The steam helps keep the bread softer longer, so the crust develops more slowly.

HOMEMADE PANINI BREAD

Steps:

• Mix in a bowl the cold and boiling water. The water needs to be cool enough to touch which is perfect temperature for yeast to develop. Stir the yeast in the water until dissolved.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir ideally in a mixture and for about 5 minutes or knead by hand - the dough needs to be pliable and elastic.
• Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise for an hour.
• Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll them into oval flatbreads, around 15cm long. Cover a baking tray with baking parchment. Place the flatbreads on the tray, cover them and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180 degrees convection.
• Bake the breads for 10 minutes or until they are slightly golden on top. Leave to cool.
• Cut them lengthways and fill them a favourite filling of yours. Place them in the oven at 200 degrees convention or the grill setting until the filling is melted and the bread is crisp.
