Pour 325 ml of water into a square glass baking dish. Add 50 ml of olive oil to the water.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of instant yeast into the liquid. Then, add 425 g of bread flour and 1 teaspoon of salt on top.

Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a shaggy dough.

Cover the dish with its lid. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, uncover the dough. Wet your hand (by dipping it into a measuring cup of water, if desired). Gently pull a portion of the dough from one side, stretch it upwards, and fold it over the center. Rotate the dish and repeat this "stretch and fold" process around the entire dough until it forms a somewhat smoother mass.

Cover the dish again and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.

After the second 30-minute rest, uncover the dough. Wet your hand again and perform the "stretch and fold" technique once more, similar to the first time.

Cover the dish for the last time and let the dough rest for 1 hour. During this time, the dough should significantly rise and become bubbly.

Once the final rest is complete, dust the surface of the risen dough in the dish with flour using a small sieve. Generously dust a wooden cutting board with flour.

Carefully invert the dough from the dish onto the floured cutting board. Dust the top of the dough with more flour.

Using a dough scraper, divide the large dough mass into 6 equal pieces.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Gently transfer each of the 6 ciabatta pieces onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between them.

Place the baking tray into a preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the ciabatta loaves are golden brown and have a crusty exterior.

Remove the baked ciabatta from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
