I'm Making Ciabatta for the First Time, and You're Gonna Watch


I have been getting (semi-)seriously into yeast breads for a few months now. I've made a few different kinds of doughs using different methods. I even made baguettes, which turned out alright, though it's pretty difficult to achieve in a home oven what professional bakers do so well with steam-injected professional-grade ovens.

I've had the past week off, and thought I'd try making something I hadn't made yet: ciabatta. I am absolutely terrible at envisioning a recipe while I read it, and it usually takes me a few tries making a loaf before I'm relatively happy with the result. But I thought it might be fun for you (and possibly horribly embarrassing for me) to watch me try this for the first time. I don't know what to expect, and I'm writing this as I go through the process, so you'll be there for my moment of... well, whatever it is, you'll be there for it.
