One-day Ciabatta Rolls

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe is one of my favorite one-day, easy ciabatta recipes. It gives you fresh bread that is fluffy on the inside, but crisp and golden on the outside. And it doesn’t use any tricks or uncommon ingredients. It relies on all-purpose flour, and only a day’s worth of your time. No biga, no poolish, only some rest time and some shaping!

This is the kind of ciabatta bread recipe I go to when I want to start baking in the morning and have fresh bread by dinner. It’s a great weekend recipe, and a really fun project to try if you are just starting out with bread. Oh, and it’s so rewarding to have 6 small loaves to snack on the rest of the week, they are so versatile and you don’t feel like you have to use everything in one go!

Ingredients you will need for these ciabatta rolls

I prefer you measure by weight here, just for accuracy of ingredients and consistency with the results!

  • 340 mL lukewarm water, apx. 1 & 1/3 cups
  • 500 grams all-purpose flour, apx. 3 & 1/2 cups
  • 16 grams sea salt or table salt, 1 tbsp
  • 5 grams active dry yeast, 1 tsp

How to make the ciabatta dough

The method is relatively simple, and we don’t even use the stand mixer on too high of a speed!

So in a stand mixer, add in the water. Make sure to add the water first! In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and yeast. Add this on top of the water.
Use the dough hook attachment for your stand mixer and mix on low speed for 10 minutes. Bring it up to medium speed for the last minute.
You want the dough to be thick and elastic, you should be able to pull a big clump of it up without it tearing. That’s when it’s ready to proof. Add the dough to a large oiled bowl and cover loosely with a towel or lid. Let it rise for 1 &1/2 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.

How to shape the ciabatta dough

You want to shape each piece of dough into a tight ball. It’s really all about going by feel here. I like to pinch the bottom of the ball into a seam, and then rotate it with my hands on my work surface, letting the grip from the table tighten the seam.

The second proof

For the second proof, you want each dough ball to be on its own separate piece of parchment paper. This will make the baking process that much easier!

So cut strips of parchment paper into 6″ by 6″ pieces, place each dough ball on a piece of parchment paper.
Flour the tops and put them on a large baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise another 1 & 1/2 hours or until doubled in size again.

Baking these ciabatta loaves

When it comes to baking these loaves, you have two options – either a dutch oven method (my preferred method) or the baking sheet method.

So when the dough has 30 minutes left of proofing time, begin to preheat your oven to 450F.
If you are using a dutch oven, put this in the oven to allow it to preheat. If you are using a baking sheet, put one rack in the middle of the oven and one rack on top, put a large empty baking sheet on the top rack.


When it is time to bake, if you are using a dutch oven, remove it from the oven and bake your loaves two at a time in the covered dutch oven for 12 minutes.


If you are using a baking sheet, place the dough balls evenly on the sheet. The spritz the inside of the oven with water, avoiding the heating element, to create steam. Immediately add the loaves to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

    delicious! I didn’t have a spray bottle so I put a ramekin with ice cubes on a rack on the bottom, turned out perfectly. Didn’t get great browning on the top but they were well cooked after 15 minutes.

Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craft Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craftsman & Wolves on the radar of everyone outside of SF, it’s finally time for an homage recipe! (mostly because I’ve been craving it for a year tbh…I am very behind)

This isn’t a recreation, but instead a vegetarian (the original has pork sausage), sinlge-serving, almost cheesy-tasting variation. I used cornmeal for a little more substance and density, more spices than I can count (they’re all worth it, I promise), and a 6-minute egg, which when enclosed in the batter, stays jammy even after baking 🥚

The full recipe for this single muffin is on the site, and I hope it might make it into your long weekend somewhere 💚 Happy Saturday everyone

SNACKS + CHEF! Today @ayesha_rare invited me int SNACKS + CHEF! 

Today @ayesha_rare invited me into her kitchen at @shukettenyc, one of my favorite places in NYC (and on the NYTimes top 100 list, NO BIG DEAL). 

If you haven’t been to Shukette, they are famous for their small plates, shareable menu and signature “rip & dip” style. Ayesha shared her famous pita recipe (look for that PUFF) and their smoked Arctic char dip - which, yes, I do pick favorites, and yes, that one is it 😍

I’m by no means a professional, so whenever I get to cook with one it’s the most fun thing in the world. As for the recipes, well, you’ll have to check in with Ayesha for those 😎 

**PS the audio might be less than great, but we were in a professional kitchen! With professionals! I’d sacrifice audio for pita any day 🙏

The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie r The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie remake recipe! Part 1 & 2 will be up in my stories - but long story short, I took one of the worst recipes on my blog, and after painful trial and error, turned it into one of my best.

This video is the culmination of about a week of testing of the iconic @gideonsbakehouse cookie, with various flours, bake times, chocolate and ratios thrown in the mix. 

I’m nowhere near a professional baker, just an enthusiast, so the full journey is on TikTok and reshared in my stories, just in case you want to see but don’t have that app! 

Plus the recipe will be linked in bio, after this much work I would never withhold it from you 💚🍪

Olive oil muddled strawberry Paper Plane - and I’m so so excited to say this is #sponsored by my loves over at @getgraza!

You can check my stories for more info about why I love Graza and why you see them in *almost* every video, but when it comes to olive oil, they have one of my favorite systems. You can subscribe to get two bottles, the larger (The Sizzle) made specifically for cooking, and the smaller (The Drizzle) meant for finishing, dipping, swirling, whatever. And idk how to say this and not sound cheesy, but they’re more than just that brand you see everywhere on social media. Their team is great, their process is great, and their level of quality and flavor. is. great. Their product is all single-origin Spanish olive oil, so I can’t vouch for them more 🫡

And if you don’t want to subscribe, they’re now in Whole Foods! As someone who has known the founders from early on, I felt like a proud child.

Ok, I’m getting emotional. But this cocktail itself could not be easier (recipe in video!), and strawberries marinated in Graza’s single origin drizzle add a peppery note that you have to try at least once.

And last but not least, my code!! JUSTINESNACKS for $5 off your first Graza Duo (Sizzle and Drizzle). Buy Graza in my name to avenge me and I’ll love u forever 💚

Ok, oil on my children - and plz make this drink 🍹

What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. Because a singular anchovy makes everything better. (Also my sourdough was just dying to be put to use)

The full recipe is on the blog, done in 15 minutes or less, and just really delicious. Although tbh my younger self would probably still prefer the microwaved version, which tbh I respect. 

And if there are any nostalgic recipes you made that you’d want recreated, let me know, I’m always down for another savory toast 🍕

Gift giving is not my love language, I’m more of a words of affirmation girl, so I wanted to make this video (and this cake!) my birthday present 🥹

This is the “Ashley’s Birthday Cake” recipe from @joannebchang’s book, Pastry Love. I used just traditional buttercream recipes for the chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla bean buttercreams. Oreo crumble was added, because you all insisted 😌

Happy Birthday @e_lipk4 💚
