EJ, I guess I just like to live dangerously.

Ken, I gently flip them onto a flipping board (see video on how to use one: http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2009/01/12/how-to-use-a-flipping-board-video/) so the floured side is up, then slide them onto a sheet of parchment. The whole parchment sheet goes onto the baking stone.

Very instructive. Once the loaves are proofed, how do you transfer them to the oven without de-gassing them?

Very nice. I really should be less stingy with flour when dusting for ciabatta

Hi Susan,
Looked through your recipe for Ciabatta. Can I substitute bread flour for the white flour?
Thanks, B.

I love these step-by-step videos; they inspire me and make me want to fetch the flour and get busy!

Oh, and I have to say, I’m so impressed to see you dressed in black and working your usual magic. lol. I feared I was alone…. I have to ask, do you have flour pats on your sides, too? How about your pockets? Yep. Me2. lol.
Thank goodness flour does not stain, washes away relatively easy and the dog understands what the backyard command, “Shake” means.
I’m still waiting for Roomba to invent the kitchen countertop vacuum though. Wouldn’t we be a glorious bunch of happy campers…er…bakers…oh my!

Great job on your video. Such a nice gentle voice you have. So when is your next video?

I made ciabatta once before but would like to try it again your way. Maybe make mine again so I can see how they compare. But I guess that would be a lot of bread.
