In this recipe, our technical baker Sara creates a Ciabatta bread using Durum Wheat Sourdough (Livendo BD100). Produced from fermented Durum Wheat flour, Livendo BD100 requires no preparation and can be incorporated directly into the mixer. This sourdough gives the finished ciabatta product a distinct aromatic smell and taste, special to a fermented cereal.
