Same chibatta, different week.
Better results!
Is it spelled ciabatta?
Bread again! I used the same recipe as last week, though I used olive oil, kneaded more thoroughly, used alot more water, salted the top, and baked for 10 additional minutes. I think the crust could be a tad darker.
But, I feel I did alot better than the loaf I baked last week because this was much less dense, and I have a few good holes in my crumb. It is moist, the crust is soft though still has crunch.
I need a better salt and the flavor isn't as intense or developed as I would like it. hmmm. Next week, I will work on that aspect.
Even the photos look like I did better, don't you think?
Mom? Any help?
