Thanks Jon, I will look at a few ciabatta  recipes, keeping in mind the
higher amount of water instructions.  I am very keen to try to make it.  

Best. Valerie

Hi Valerie:

     I have not actually made ciabata bread yet, but I am definitely
interested in trying it out in the near future.  It is somewhat difficult to
make because the dough has such a high ratio of flour to water in it, making
the dough very hard to work.  According to my "Professional Baking" book
tells me, the dough is not really shaped like you would for most other
loaves, but is instead simply deposited onto a greased sheet pan and baked.
The very high ratio of water is what makes for all those holes in the
finished bread.  That's about all I can tell you right now without
consulting my book or making it myself.

   Jon

I am wondering if anyone has made ciabatta bread, I am told it is a little
tricky.  I have a friend who loves ciabatta bread, it is a really delicious
bread full of all those holes and very crispy on the outside, but I have
never made it!    Has anyone baked this bread and, if so, are there any
tips?  

Thanks. Valerie
