Add the water and olive oil to the bread machine pan. Ensure the water is room temperature or slightly warm (around 38Β°C or 100Β°F) to activate the yeast.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the water to create a barrier. Do not mix. This helps with proper yeast formation.
Add the salt and sugar on separate edges of the flour layer, avoiding direct contact with the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (without exposing the liquid) and add the active dry yeast.
Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the top of the flour.
Select the 'Basic Dough' or 'Basic Bread' setting on your bread machine, and choose a crust preference if your machine allows it (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to knead, rise, and bake the ciabatta dough. This typically takes around 3 hours, but time may vary depending on the bread machine model.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Turn out the ciabatta onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing. This ensures the proper texture is achieved.
Serve the ciabatta as desiredβwarm it for dipping into olive oil, use it for sandwiches, or enjoy it plain!
