Recipe: Simple Sourdough Ciabatta Bread

Ingredients

Mix the water, salt, and sourdough starter in a bowl, then add the flour to form a sticky dough.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Perform a series of stretches and folds for a total of 4 times at 30-minute intervals over 2 hours.
Transfer the dough to a straight-sided vessel and let it rise until it increases in volume by about 75%.
Cover the vessel and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
Remove the dough from the fridge, dust with flour, and turn it out onto a floured surface.
Pat the dough into a rectangle and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
Transfer the pieces to a parchment-lined sheet pan and let them rest for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 475°F and bake the rolls for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 450°F and bake for another 10 minutes.
Cool the rolls on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
