Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long to keep the ciabatta rolls dough in fridge?
We can use the dough on the next day or after 24 hours of proofing in fridge. Though this dough can be used even on the fifth day ,for getting the best results, I recommend to use the dough anywhere between 24 hours to 72 hours in fridge.
What are the benefits of cold fermented or retarded dough?
At cool temperatures, yeast produces carbon dioxide more slowly, so refrigerating the batter allows yeast to leaven at a slow and steady pace, providing more time for a more complex-tasting combination of flavor compounds to develop. As a result we get a more flavorful dough.
How to deal with sticky ciabatta dough?
Ciabatta dough is an extremely wet (high hydration) dough. To give you an idea, most bread recipes sit around 60% hydration while this ciabatta recipe is at almost 80% hydration. Because of this, the dough is not kneaded the same way other yeast dough is. Rather, it is allowed to slowly ferment with a series of brief stretch and folds.
What is the purpose of stretching and folding the dough?
The stretch and fold method serves two main purposes:
it layers the gluten to build structure in the dough,
it redistributes the heat within the dough
