Hi John - I am an experienced sourdough baker, but usually work no more than 75% hydration. I recently starting experimenting with ciabatta bread at 80% hydration. I have turned out some proper ciabatta rolls but have not been happy with my shaping and size. This video showed some different ways to handle and shape the wet dough. I feel I my be getting over the next hurdle in my sourdough journey! Thank you!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well. Thanks for watching. Here is my latest video recipe. profoodhomemade.com/soft-sandwich-buns/

[@HectorMElias]

Hey John, I want to thank you for getting me into baking... Your original Ciabatta video was the first time I tried bread and completely fell in love with the process. Then I learned how to do Sourdough Bread and English Muffins. It's been a long way since then and now I have my own home bakery. Today I got a big order and I'm going to be doing this recipe. Thank you for being a big, positive change in my life!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Well done Hector MEO, Nice one, I am very pleased for you my friend.👍👍👍

[@kbrasey]

That’s a great story, well done to the both of you

[@heethn]

I thought you were me until I got to the bakery part, kudos!

[@marcoj.3120]

John, as I said two years ago here below, this is a fantastic recipe and it remains one of my favorite breads ever. I have one suggestion, if I may. I don't like the white, almost raw-looking bottom in contrast to the wonderful, caramelized top. So, now I preheat my stone to 475* F (246 C) for an hour or so before baking and then lower the temp to the suggested 450* (232 C) and it comes out wonderful. Thank you again for this treasure of a recipe!

Thanks Gerald, very kind.

[@MarschelArts]

just saw your older ciabatta bread video from 2017 and was so happy to see you still active! Making sourdough starter was the thing that brought me to breadmaking in the first place, as I thought to myself one day: people used to do that since ancient times, can't be that hard! And boy was I right and wrong in equal parts. Making the starter: fairly simple. making good bread with it, not so much. But as I said in my coment on the older video, I learned a lot, or rather, understood where I went wrong thanks to you. Now, onward to this video!

John, I wanted to thank you for such a nice video that inspired me to try to make ciabatta bread for the first time. It turned out amazing, thank you.😀

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Renata, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend. Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta Rolls. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

There are many! many! more quicker bread recipes on the channel, checkout my bread making playlist here kzbin.info/aero/PLUISvii9kE48PCHhfGE2ZJ3BmfZlCU36V Please checkout the channels new recipe Book, available now in the website shop here profoodhomemade.com/shop Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta Rolls. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these. Please post me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Well, I made my foolish last night (I'm in Canada so at this writing it's 10:09 a.m.) and proceeded this morning to complete the steps. But now I've realized I have an appointment I cannot change that will interfere with the process after the 3-4 hr bulk fermentation. Can I retard the process a bit by putting the dough into the fridge and then finish it when I return home?

[@alyssacunningham5690]

I'm so jazzed! This bread was awesome! It was my first time working with sourdough, and the first time I have ever tried making ciabatta. Chef Kirkwood was so well spoken and did such a great job demonstrating the technique, that I was able to replicate the recipe so successfully. I began my sourdough starter 2 weeks ago (using a different recipe, with a slightly different ratio of hydration, as I had not yet discovered chef Kirkwood's video and web page). I initiated the starter using white whole wheat flour and rye flour, which I later on fed with all-purpose flour, as my supply of bread flour is limited. Since the coronavirus pandemic started, it has been almost impossible to purchase ANY kind of flour in the U.S. Luckily, a friend gave me some of his bread flour, which I used in chef Kirkwood's recipe. The only thing I did differently was I used a very small amount of finely ground semolina rimacinata flour. The texture of this bread was so light and airy, and the sourdough flavor was incredibly delicate and mild. I will definitely be trying some of his other recipes!
