Sourdough Ciabatta
This is pretty easy. Once you get a handle on how soft the dough is going to be. Very high hydration, but amazing to eat! Enjoy.
WELL....this is a last minute race addition to the Lazy Sourdough Bakery Course. I just had to try it and it came out so well, it had to be included...I mean.
So...as this is a very high hydration dough, it is a little tricky to handle, but if you watch the video and use the fridge proof, you will be able to manage it very easily. Lazily even!!
Go ahead and add anything you like to the dough. The picture shows a fig and pecan loaf. SO good. But think anything you like to add to your regular ciabatta already and go with it.
Hope you enjoy this one.

Baking time with sourdough is always a lot longer with sourdough than yeast risen doughs. You need to learn the intricacies of your oven, which can really impact the end cooking time.
