ciabatta!

oh it turned out so lovely! it takes significantly more time than regular french bread, but it's absolutely worth the extra effort.


handle it ever so gently! it's wonderfully soft and bubbly.


after letting it raise for about 3 hours, you're ready to pop it in a hot oven.


let it cool for as long as you can stand it...


then slice and enjoy!

i think this bread got the highest ratings from my family so far... 
...second half of the batch to follow tomorrow.
