After [the first try][1], I wanted to increase the bulk ferment and final proofing times to see what the ciabatta dough would look like if I used this for focaccia, as Mr. Hamelman suggests in his “BREAD” book. The result can be seen here.<figure id="attachment_394" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption aligncenter">

Bulk fermentation time: **three hours**. Final proofing: **one hour**. Since the dough is very wet, some stretch & folds are required to hold it’s shape. I think I did too many of those, since it rose dramatically in the oven, resulting in a bit too high dough for focaccia. You could slice it and put on toppings like a ciabatta!<figure id="attachment_396" style="width: 261px" class="wp-caption alignleft">

You might notice I’ve added some toppings:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Dried and fresh oregano
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Plenty of olive oil creating “holes” with your fingertips
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
black olives
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
cherry tomatoes
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
buffalo mozzarella
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
fresh basil leaves
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
I thought I added too much olives but as it rose that much in the oven (baked at 250°C and lowered after 15 minutes), there was even room for more. I also used italian “00” flour instead of my generic all purpose pastry-ish white flour. This resulted in less chewyness but alas after one or two days it lost it’s light texture again.

This dough was also made using a poolish as a preferement (100% hydratation) with commercial yeast. Next up for adventure issue three: sourdough, finally!
