No, don't make my own, but do buy it occassionally. Love it with my poached eggs. As I have a breadmaker, would love a recipe.

Pickles, have used this recipe a few times and my hands are not they use to be so ended up only 2/3 of recipe (note in brackets 2/3 amount), in dough only setting in the breadmaker and works great.
• Ciabatta. makes 4 (3)loaves. 6.5 (4.125) Cups All purpose Flour (can use 1-2 cups wholemeal mixed in) 3 (2) cups Warm water 1.5 (1) tbsp Yeast 1.5 (1) tbsp Salt Place all in "big" plastic tub and mix well. Cover and place in warm spot for 3-4 hours and then into fridge. Following day, using floured hands, remove and place into smaller sealable container which will keep fine in fridge for 2 weeks. For a loaf, prepare a slide with smeared olive oil and a sprinkling of corn meal. Using some flour, pull/cut off a 1/4 portion. Don't handle too much but stretch out the base for about a minute, form into loaf shape and place on the prepared tray. Cut a shallow cross across the top, sprinkle of flour and into oven. 35mins - 210c Tap the top to see if it sounds hollow. I have made one with whizzed up sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and fresh rosemary. mixed through the flour before adding the warm water. Lovely with lots of butter.

Thank you . valentine, but I found a smaller recipe on line. I cannot cut and paste it so will move it and try again. Or rather find a site I can past from the same recipe crops up in several sites. So much for the folk who shot me down so many times over the years. lol. I will go now and try and get one

Ciabatta bread made in the bread maker. 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon white sugar 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 1/4 cups (450g) bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast . sure bake yeast is the right yeast for this recipe. The jar with the yeast food in with the yeast.
Directions Preparation:45min › Cook:45min › Extra time:45min rising › Ready in:2hours15min 1.Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle, and Start. 2.Dough will be quite sticky and wet once cycle is completed, resist the temptation to add more flour. Place dough on a lightly floured board, cover with a large bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes. 3.Lightly flour or use baking paper lined oven trays. Divide into 2 pieces, and form each into a 10x35cm oval. Place loaves on prepared trays, dimple surface, and lightly flour. Cover, and let rise in a draft free place for approximately 45 minutes. 4.Preheat oven to 220 degrees C. 5.Dimple dough for a second time, and then place loaves in the oven, positioned on the middle shelf. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. During baking, spritz loaves with water every 5 to 10 minutes for a crispier crust. Yaaaa! I will make it in the morning and post a pic.

Bother it, I am having a job posting a pic. I will say the recipe I found on the net is very good. Not as good as the bread that is made over two days. I would be up for making it again for sure.

I have altered this recipe a bit and got better results.
Ciabatta bread made in the bread maker. 1 1/2 cups water xxxx 1 cup cold 1/2 cup boiling water. mixed before adding to the dry ingredients. 1 teaspoons salt xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was 1&1/2 teaspoons 1 & 1/2 teaspoon white sugar xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was 1 teaspoon 1 tablespoon olive oil xxxxxxx I use the old Tablespoon, it is probably 1 teaspoon more than the new measuring spoon. 3 1/4 cups (450g) bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast . sure bake yeast is the right yeast for this recipe. The jar with the yeast food in with the yeast.
I also leave the dough in the bread maker for 30 minutes, as the warmth really gets things moving along, shape it into 2 loaves, rise the bread in a warm oven, then remove bread to heat the oven . Bake 20 to 25 minutes. I also put a 1/2 cup of water in a tray on the bottom of the oven and spray water onto the loaves twice during baking.
