About Ciabatta Machine
Due to the very high hydration of Ciabatta dough, which differs from regular bread, the Ciabatta production line does not use standard bread forming machines. Instead, customized equipment is employed. During the conveying process, the dough surface is generously dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Then, it is rolled with rollers, and holes are pierced to release air. Finally, the dough is cut and shaped.
