perfect replica for Wendy's out-of-this-world bread. Give this recipe

Cooking: 22 min
Prepare the dough starter by dissolving the yeast in the water in a
medium sized bowl. Stir in the flour, you will have a thick paste-like dough.
With a spoon, stir the dough about forty or fifty times. This will
help to build the gluten in the dough. Cover and let sit for at least
8 hours or overnight.
After the dough starter has sat for the given time, it should have
big bubbles on the top of the dough.
Prepare the Ciabatta dough by dissolving the yeast in the water in
the bowl of a stand mixer.
Using a flexible pastry scraper or spatula, scrape the dough starter
into the yeast water mixture. Break up the dough start into blobs of dough.
Add the flour and salt, and stir until you have a thick, wet dough.
Rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Attach a dough hook to the stand mixer, and start to mix and knead
the dough for 15 minutes on medium speed.
Note: Keep a careful eye on the mixer so it does not start to move
off the counter.
About midway through mixing, the dough will start to pull away from
the sides of the bowl and climb around the dough hook.
If this does not happen, simply speed up your mixed a notch. You may
also need to stop the mixer and scrape the dough from the dough hook.
After 15 minutes, the dough should be smooth and shiny. If not,
simply mix for a few more minutes.
Remove the dough hook and scape any dough attached to the dough hook
into the bowl.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 2 to 3
hours, until the dough has tripled in volume.
Line two baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
Dust a work surface with a good amount of flour. Using a pastry
scraper or a spatula, carefully scrape the dough onto the floured
surface. Dust the top of the dough with a bit more flour.
Gently pat the dough into a rectangle. Using a pastry scraper, cut
the dough into 12 rolls about the same size. (Roughly 4" square.)
Carefully life the rolls with the pastry scrape onto the baking
sheets, leaving 2" between the rolls. Dimple the dough gently with
your fingertips.
Uncovered, let the rolls rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes, until
they have risen and have bubbles.
While the rolls ar resting, heat the oven to 475F.
Note: If you are using a baking stone, place it in the oven while the
rolls are resting.
Place the rolls on the parchment onto the baking stone. If you are
not using a baking stone, leave the rolls that are on the parchment
lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until golden.
Place the rolls onto a wire cooling rack to completely cool.
Review: I tried this and it was quite good! It's one of those breads
that are soft on the inside and harder on the outside, but in a good way
Review: This bread was perfect! Crisp on the outside and soft and
fluffy on the inside. Add some butter while it's still warm and it
literally melts in your mouth!
Review: Homemade bread is always delicious, but I really loved the
texture of this recipe! It would be great for sandwiches, or for
serving with some sort of dipping sauce.
Review: This recipe was just perfect! So soft and chewy with that
homemade taste. Would be perfect with some fresh herbed olive oil as
a dipping sauce.
