2Add in the water, and mix well until there is no dry flour left and a wet, sticky dough forms.
3Sprinkle flour on the top then cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
4Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle flour on it.
5Once your dough as risen, use a spatula to directly transfer the dough from the bowl onto your baking sheet.
6Using the spatula or your hands, shape the dough into a oblong loaf shape. Make sure the floured top stays on top.
7Pre-heat over to 425℉ and place an empty baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven.
8Place your ciabatta loaf on the top rack, then fill the bottom baking dish with 1-2 cups boiling water and quickly close the oven (create a water bath).
9Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the water bath and move the ciabatta to the bottom or middle rack of the oven.
10Bake for another 10-15 minute, until golden.
