→ Spanish: chapata

→ Portuguese: chapata

Of unknown origin shared with Spanish zapato and French sabot and savate and Sicilian savatta. Possibly from Tatar чабата (çabata, “overshoes”), ultimately either from Ottoman Turkish چاپوت (çaput, çapıt, “patchwork, tatters”), from Ottoman Turkish چاپمق (çapmak, “to slap on”), or of Iranian origin, cognate with modern Persian چپت (čapat, “a kind of traditional leather shoe”).

Lasciate lievitare per 50-60 minuti, poi dividete l'impasto e modellatelo in più ciabatte, che porrete sul piano infarinato per 15 minuti.

2004, A. V. Giunti, Voglia di Cucinare Pane, pizze, focacce e torte salate:

Leave to rise for 50-60 minutes, then divide the dough and mold into ciabatte, then place on floured board for 15 minutes.
