Cibatta bread

Adapted from a recipe I found online for some brilliant bread which has become my replacement for store-bought bread. Prep time is 8 hours for sitting time to allow to rise, but otherwise takes two minutes for the initial prep.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pour yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add warm water and stir.
- 2
Add flour and salt to the yeast water.
- 3
Stir flour and water together until it forms a heavy batter. Consistency should be thicker than pancake batter, but thinner than play-dough.
- 4
Wrap mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place a towel over top. Place into a warm location (an oven with ONLY the light on is ideal). Leave dough to set for 8 to 12 hours to rise.
- 5
Once rising is complete, preheat oven to 400° F.

At this point, it's a good idea to think about baking mediums. Pizza stone, cookie sheet, dutch oven, or bread pan. Either will work. For a cookie sheet or pizza stone; place parchment, corn meal, or a silpat on surface. For a bread pan or Dutch oven; butter or oil sides well.
- 7
Using a wooden spoon, pour the dough into your baking medium. It will be wet and sticky. This is okay.
- 8
Now we think about what to put on top! All sorts of spices would compliment this bread, such as oregano, rosemary, basil, garlic, salt, or thyme. Dried is good, but fresh is always better. Leaving plain is also an option for the more simplistic baker.
- 9
Place into your preheated oven and bake for at least 25 minutes. We're looking for a deep golden brown on the top. For the cookie sheet method, 27-29 minutes is ideal. For bread pan, 35-37 minutes is ideal.

After bread had baked, remove from oven and remove from baking medium and place into a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Dark Bread Dark Bread
A savory dark bread we used dipping into our chili. If you use vinegar in this recipe remember it's acidic. Acid counters yeast and hinder it's rising, but it also counters gluten and breaks it down and cause it to become very sticky and a bit harder to work with. It's a welcomed flavour to this bread. A couple of tablespoons of vinegar about 3% acidity would be nice. skunkmonkey101 -
