No-Knead Ciabatta

1. 1

   Mix the water, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Add flour one cup at a time.

   In the morning uncover the dough and slightly pat it down with a rubber spatula to deflate it.

6. 6

   Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet.

7. 7

   With a rubber spatula scrape the wet dough out onto the pan, don't worry if it looks a little messy, straighten it out a little with floured hands.

8. 8

   Set pan aside uncovered for 2 hours to rise (don't expect it to rise much).

9. 9

   Preheat oven to 425F an hour before the bread will be done rising.

10. 10

    Note:If you like you can sprinkle flour over the top of the risen dough right before you put it in the oven, this will give it the nice crackly floured look when it is done.

11. 11

    Bake bread for 20-30 minutes. It will be done when the crust has a deep golden color. Enjoy!
