Last Tuesday on Bake Off they were excelling at making focaccias and bread sticks, I had a warm up today with these posh little French things.  Having tasted a couple, 15 minutes after baking them I think they could have had more flavour in them, so this weekend I&#8217;ll try to make Hollywood&#8217;s ciabatta bread sticks with cheese and olives, there will be no problem with lack of flavour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dough was unbelievably tricky. Super runny, needed a heavy dusting of flour to come anywhere near handling it.  I started off with 250 g of strong white bread flour, 5 g of salt, 10 g of fresh yeast, 200ml of tepid water, which kitchen aid worked into a mess barely resembling something one can handle. A drizzle of olive oil was also added towards the end and it was POURED into a well oiled, rectangular container for proving.  When tipped out, it looked like that; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2021\/10\/PXL_20211008_145345049.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2021\/10\/PXL_20211008_145345049.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2021\/10\/PXL_20211008_145345049-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I then laboriously shaped it into something resembling sticks, sprinkled with salt, oregano and some of my truffle butter from Italy ( original recipe wanted truffle oil, I don&#8217;t buy any anymore as it goes off quickly and I tend it waste it). The shaped dough proved for another 30-40 minutes and went into the oven for about 11 minutes in 230 degrees. More truffle butter on top once baked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re nice and crunchy, in our bread loving family they won&#8217;t last beyond this evening, next time however- olives and cheese ones. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I dusted off my Paul Hollywood&#8217;s baking book.
