Step-by-Step Instructions for Small Batch Ciabatta Rolls
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of warm water and 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  3. Transfer the shaggy dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours until doubled.
  5. Turn out the risen dough onto a floured surface, stretch, and divide into equal portions, forming each into a rough shape.
  6. Place the shaped rolls on a floured baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rise for 30–60 minutes until puffed.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Allow rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
